Carolina Pulled Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients. Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker; add vinegar mixture. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender., Remove chicken; cool slightly. Reserve 1 cup cooking juices; discard remaining juices. Shred chicken with 2 forks. Return meat and reserved cooking juices to slow cooker; heat through. If desired, serve chicken mixture on buns.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Whisk the yellow mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard powder, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the butter.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with about one-third of the mustard sauce in a large bowl until coated. Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
• Brush the grill grates generously with vegetable oil. Put about 1/4 cup of the remaining mustard sauce in a small bowl for basting and reserve the rest for topping. Grill the chicken, covered, basting occasionally with the sauce, until well marked and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per side.
• Serve the chicken with the reserved mustard sauce, sliced tomato and macaroni salad, if desired.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Whisk together the flour and House Seasoning in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the flour mixture, shaking to remove any excess, and add to the hot oil. Fry until the chicken is golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• For the sauce: Add the diced onions to the hot oil in the skillet and cook until the onions are slightly softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Whisk in the stock, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in the cream, Dijon (start with 2 tablespoons for a milder sauce and add up to 8 total tablespoons for a more pungent, mustardy sauce) and ground mustard and bring to a simmer again until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken, turning to coat with the gravy. Cover and cook, turning the chicken occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Stir onion, vinegar, garlic, and brown sugar together in 6 quart slow-cooker. Spread whole grain mustard over all chicken pieces. Place chicken, breast-side down, in slow-cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, until chicken is fork tender.
• Remove chicken from slow-cooker and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Pour braising liquid through sieve. Transfer onion solids and 1/2 cup of the liquid to a large bowl. Add dressing ingredients (vinegar, yellow mustard, parsley, salt and pepper) to the onion mixture and whisk together.
• Shred chicken in large pieces and toss with dressing.
• Serve on toasted buns with coleslaw.

Steps:
