Pulled Meat Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a slow cooker, place the boneless chicken thighs or pork shoulder. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Add Liquid

    Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and barbecue sauce, ensuring the meat is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Cook the Meat

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  5. 5

    Shred the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pulled meat with your choice of kids-sized sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, or baked beans.
