I’m sure this is considered blasphemy by many BBQ purists, but I had some boneless, skinless chicken I needed to use up, so I threw it in a crockpot and covered it with chicken broth and let it do its thing. When it was done, I removed the chicken and pulled it into shreds. I added a Memphis-style barbeque sauce, put it on a bun, and topped it with a slaw made with cabbage, shredded apple, raisins and some mayo.
Yeah. I think I’ll be making that again.
I don't see a BBQ violation here.
ReplyDeleteNow if it had been brisket you abused like then you'd have cause to worry.
(That crock pot method works great for pulled pork too.)
Yum!
ReplyDeleteThy BBQ shall have meat, and Pork shall be it's name. Amen
ReplyDeleteAs a high holy priest of the church of the roasted swine, I, like Alan, see no violation either. Just as long as you do make the distinction between the various meats to be cooked.
ReplyDeleteSorta like a reformed Druid, you can pray at bushes.......
So one should tell the Matriarch of the Tribe how to Cook and Feed her Family, especially when She is Armed? I ain't THAT Stupid! It does sound yummy, though.
ReplyDeleteChicken is not in heavy rotation on the dinner menu at Casa R. While waiting in line at a fast food restaurant, SH was heard to say “I don’t know if I want chicken, or if I want meat”. I informed him that in most cultures, chicken was considered meat. Also, due to an unfortunate incident when SH was still living at home, he can no longer eat chicken *on* the bone. This incident involved pieces of chicken, flour, cold oil and a pressure cooker.
ReplyDeleteNext time, but the sauce in the crockpot with the chicken.

" ... when SH was living at home *when he was younger"*, he can no longer ..."
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't me. I would have never thought to make fried chicken in a pressure cooker.
SayUncle: I'd thought of that, but was afraid the sauce would burn. Next time I'll just dump a can of Coke over it like I do with pork.
I also like using leftover chicken, shredding it, and adding Mexican spices. Makes good chicken tacos.
ReplyDeleteYep, sauce, chicken, crockpot. You can skip a step.
ReplyDeleteSounds like pulled pork, only with chicken. Now, you've got my head a'thinking.
ReplyDeleteHa! Turing word: Cumin. Now my head is really a'thinking.
You've reminded me of country comedian, and champion banjo-picker, Mike Snider's hilarious lament, "Look What They've Done to the Dominecker Chicken!" Mike marvels at the absurdity of trying to sell people a chicken's fingers, and wonders what parts of the chicken the nuggets were cut from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDE8OZT1eVk
