Title: Pulled Chicken Breast - Thoughts?
Post by: Jimbo on April 28, 2012, 04:40:49 AM
I was thinking about trying to make some pulled chicken sandwiches.  My first thought...cold smoke some boneless/skinless chicken breasts for an hour and then through in the crockpot with BBQ sauce until they fall apart.  I don't know if cold smoking chicken would be safe or not though?

Other thought...smoke at 250 for an hour and then through in the crockpot with sauce.

I am guessing both end results will probably be close to the same.  I don't want them overly smokey so I figure an hour in the Bradley.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

250 for an hour or so, then into the crock..     That should work fine.

I wouldn't mess with cold smoking poultry.

I generally cook my pulled chicken completely in the Bradley. You just need to bring the chicken up to 175 - 180°F, let it rest for about 30 minute before pulling making sure you remove any fat that can be remaining.

I don't like too much sauce in my pulled chicken, so after pulling the meat I sparingly sauce. Also the finer you pull/shred the meat the more sauce it will hold, so I generally don't shred too much, but if you like sauce shred it fine.
