Hi Mary! Do you know of a way to make pulled chicken/pork without a slow cooker? I don't have one (yet), but I really want to learn to make pulled meat. Any tips? This recipe looks delicious!
Hi Lara!
I just saw your comment/ question... I've only ever made pulled chicken & unfortunately not sure how you could adapt pork. Chicken is something I cook with a lot though. If you want to try and recreate this w/o a slow cooker, just brown up the chicken in oil with S&P... Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a simmer and cover and cook over lowish heat until chicken is done. I like to use the tenders so its FAST ;). Then, just shred it up and that's it!
