Slow-Cooker BBQ Beer Pulled Chicken

The Frito Giveaway has been extended to Monday! Just 'cause I feel like it.


Foodgawker is one of my ultimate procrastination websites. It plays second-fiddle to Facebook, of course, but it's a great place to brainstorm meal ideas, find cool food blogs, and mark tasty treatz.

Crispy testicles made the site today. Tasty treatz surely is a subjective term. 

Anyhow, the picture that really caught my eye had nothing to do with seared male reproductive organs. I slightly adapted this recipe from How Sweet It Is after seeing it (read: drooling over it) on FG. It's great on a bun, nachos, or just in its naked chicken glory. 

Naked Chicken Glory. Good band name?

Ps- The recipe only needs 4 ounces of brewski. I give you permission to imbibe the rest.

Slow-Cooker BBQ Beer Pulled Chicken  Makes 3 hearty helpings
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast (or whatever's on sale. Thighs would be super!)
1 t. onion powder
1 t. paprika
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
4 oz beer (I used amber ale)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1.) Add the chicken to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion powder, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper over the top. Pour in the beer and barbecue sauce.
2.) Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4. Shred and enjoy!
