What is BBQ Shredded Chicken?
It’s just like it sounds. You’re basically going to take raw strips of chicken, cook them up, then shred them and add in BBQ sauce. This can also be called pulled chicken, since the process is similar to pulled pork.
Is pulled chicken the same as shredded chicken?
It’s kind of the same thing. Typically, pulled chicken is a process where the chicken is either smoked or cooked at a really low and slow temp. Shredded chicken, on the other hand, literally just refers to the texture of the chicken meat and not to the cooking technique itself. So pulled chicken is the process and shredded is the texture.

- Chicken – You can use all types of chicken but I’ve found that strips work the best. Breasts or thighs work as well. Use whatever you have on hand or prefer!
Buttermilk – Buttermilk helps break down the chicken and gives it a nice flavor. You can make homemade buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar (or lemon juice) to 1 cup of milk.
Cayenne Pepper – Adds a subtle heat that you can make hotter if you want.
Garlic Powder – Don’t confuse with garlic salt!
Onion Powder – A great way to enhance flavor.
Dried Parsley – You can use fresh if you want.
Garlic Cloves – Minced cloves work the best.
Sugar – Simple way to add a burst of sweetness and counter the buttermilk a bit.
Worcestershire Sauce – Say this ingredient five times fast.
