Helpful Tips and Frequently Asked Questions
-
Use freshly minced garlic or jarred minced garlic for this recipe.
-
When adding the BBQ sauce, I just eyeball this part. You may add as much as you would like, but I usually just add enough to cover the chicken. You can always add more when you shred the chicken.
-
I like adding a red onion to this recipe, but you can use any onions you have or even leave it out if desired.
-
Always cook chicken until it reaches 165 degrees.
