*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***

Just in time for the big Superbowl have you got some
party plans? Whether you’re doing the gig or going
somewhere as a fan this is great idea for halftime
munchies BBQ PULLED CHICKEN THIGH SLIDERS. Just get
em’ going ahead of time and get out the crockpot.
If you haven’t purchased a crockpot yet that’s
definitely an indispensible thing in my kitchen.

And a real yummo appetizer is the layered BLT dip
I included that one right below today too.

Happy partying!

RECIPE: BBQ PULLED CHICKEN THIGH SLIDERS

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

INGREDIENTS:
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups smoky barbecue sauce (love Sweet Baby Rays)
12 to 16 mini rolls
12 to 16 mini dill pickles

DIRECTIONS:
In a large high-sided pot, add the chicken, salt and
broth. Cover and bring to a boil, and reduce the heat
and simmer until done, about 20 minutes. Remove from
heat and allow to cool enough to handle. With two forks,
shred the chicken right in the pot, by pulling the pieces
apart. Add the barbecue sauce, reheat the mixture and
reduce the liquid if needed, or add some additional
chicken broth if too dry. Split the rolls and mound
about 1 tablespoon of the chicken on each bottom half;
top with the remaining half. Using a toothpick, secure
a pickle on top and serve warm.

Yield: 8 Servings
