2 cups chicken broth
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbl brown sugar
fresh ground pepper, lots (to taste)
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder
2-3 pieces of bacon, browned and crumbled
1/2 cup bbq sauce
Brown the chicken in a medium pot. While the chicken in browning mix together everything else except the barbecue sauce and bacon. Pour the broth mixture into the pan with the chicken. Simmer for an hour or two, till the chicken pulls apart fairly easily. Take the pot off the heat, pour off the broth and set it aside. Pull the chicken apart in the pot using your hands or a pair of forks. Add a couple tablespoons of broth back to the chicken and mix it around. Return the pot to medium-low heat and add the barbeque sauce and bacon. Mix it well then let it sit for a minute. Repeat several times. Remove from heat and let it cool for a couple minutes. Serve hot.

I love pulled barbecue stuff, it is awesome. But it has a major drawback. That is that most of it, especially the really good stuff, takes a long time. Even the stuff you do in the oven instead of a smoker takes a long time. This recipe, on the other hand, only takes about an hour. You can take more time with it if you want, but you really don't need to. You actually want the chicken to dry out a bit when you braise it, that way it will soak up some of the barbecue sauce. So here we go, pulled barbecue chicken that is almost quick enough to be a weeknight meal.
First, brown up the bacon in a medium/large sauce pot. Now you don't have to put bacon in this, it's technically optional. But it's really good and I highly recommend it. I mean, cmon. Bacon. Especially if it's smoky it's good in this recipe. Anyway, brown the bacon. Remove it from the pan to a paper towel lined plate. Pour out most of the grease from the pan but leave enough to brown the chicken. Salt then brown the chicken. While the chicken is browning mix together the braising liquid. If you want you can make this stuff stronger (or weaker), spicy, smoky, whatever. The seasonings listed are a guideline only. Once the chicken is browned add the broth mixture.

Hmm, looks good man. I got a fresh batch of pickles in this week. Remind your girl to remind me to give her some for you, especially if you have any of the chicken left over. Did you prefer the cucumbers or the onions? My layering fu was off, and one jar is mostly onion :)
Thanks. Sweet. I much prefer the cucumbers myself. I wish we had had some last night. Heh.
YUM!!!
Your chicken looks great! Yeah and pickles would be great with it! lol
Hey Bob,
You've got a great blog here! Loving this recipe, totally drooling. I bet the bacon sends it over the top, in a great way!
Mmmm. that burger looks delicious!
enough said! :)
Good Stuff, Bob! I would use Famous Daves Hot and Sweet Pickles.
Thanks Susan, Michele and Spryte. :)
Hi Jenny! Thanks, the bacon does nothing but good things to it.
Cathy W: I'm not familiar with those, but I would give them a shot. I mean hey, they sure sound good. Heh.
