Pulled Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Bake the Chicken

    Pour the Sweet Pisgah sauce over the chicken and cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  4. 4

    Pull the Chicken

    Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with the sauce in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pulled chicken warm on buns, over rice, or alongside your favorite sides.
