It's May and I'm freezing. The rain and cold just won't move along and Spring may never get here. Therefore it felt appropriate to use the slowcooker on a gloomy Monday. This is a super simple and kid-friendly alternative to pulled pork. It's sweet, tender and tangy. We could all use a little Hawaiian sunshine right about now!
Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
3 pounds Boneless Chicken Breast, Thighs Or A Combo Of The Two
1 whole Onion (large), Sliced Into Chunks
1 can (20 Oz. Size) Crushed Pineapple, Drained But Reserve The Juice If Using (See Note Below)
1 bottle (18 To 20 Oz. Size) BBQ Sauce Of Your Choice (We used Sweet Baby Ray's)
Hamburger Buns Or Kaiser Rolls
Place chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. Top with onions, then pineapple. Pour the entire bottle of BBQ sauce over the whole thing.
Note: If you want a sweeter BBQ, add up to half a cup of the pineapple juice you drained, depending on how sweet you want it. This is optional.
Turn your crock pot on LOW and cook for 8–10 hours (or on HIGH for 4–6).
An hour before it is finished cooking, shred the chicken using two forks. Finish cooking an additional hour so the chicken can absorb most of the sauce. Serve on hamburger buns and top with coleslaw if desired.
