BBQ Chicken Sliders

  • 6 Boneless skinless chicken thighs (I'm going to use chicken breasts)
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • Chicken broth
  • 2 Cups BBQ sauce
  • 12 - 16 mini rolls

In a large sided pot add chicken, salt and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until done - approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat, drain broth and allow to cool. With two forks, shred chicken in pot by pulling the pieces a part,. Add BBQ sauce, reheat the mixture and reduce. If too thick add a little chicken broth. Split rolls, add meat. Using a toothpick put a pickle on sandwich (Optional) and serve warm.
 
(This was a recipe featured on Good Things Utah the other day. I'll let you know how we like them.)
