Tips!

Can I make quick pulled chicken without barbecue sauce?

Pulled chicken is usually served with barbecue sauce. However, you can easily use another sauce, how about:

  • A dry rub sauce, like on spare ribs.
  • Teriyaki sauce.
  • Tomato sauce.
  • Béchamel sauce.
  • Garlic sauce.

What is the best way to pull apart the chicken?

The most practical way is to pull apart the chicken breasts with 2 forks. You can also do this with your fingers, but this is less practical when the chicken is still hot. An alternative method, which we have been given as a tip, is to use a blender.
