Notes

This shredded chicken is perfect for bulk cooking. Once cooked, remove from the cooker and let the chicken cool before packing into air tight boxes.

Fridge – BBQ pulled chicken will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer – You can keep this slow cooker BBQ pulled chicken in the freezer for 4–6 months. Beyond this, you may lose some texture and flavour. Allow frozen pulled chicken to defrost on the counter top for a few hours, or in the fridge overnight.

Reheating – Reheat to piping hot before serving. I nearly always do this in the microwave. You can also reheat in a small sauce pan on the hob, stirring well (add a little water if necessary), or in a tightly covered oven poof dish in a medium oven for 15–20 minutes. You may need to adjust the time for larger quantities.
