Pulled Smoked Chicken Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the chicken.

2. 2

   Season the Chicken

   In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.

3. 3

   Smoke the Chicken

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the seasoned chicken in the smoker and smoke for about 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. 4

   Braise the Chicken

   Once the chicken is done smoking, remove it from the smoker and place it in a large pot. Add apple cider vinegar and chicken broth to the pot. Cover and let it braise on low heat for about 1 hour.

5. 5

   Shred the Chicken

   After braising, remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Mix with BBQ Sauce

   In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well coated. Serve warm.
