Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
- 3 pounds Boneless Chicken Breast, Thighs Or A Combo Of The Two
- 1 whole Onion (large), Sliced Into Chunks
- 1 can (20 Oz. Size) Pineapple, I Recommend Nibblits Or Crushed, Drained But Reserve The Juice If Using (See Note Below)
- 1 bottle (18 To 20 Oz. Size) BBQ Sauce Of Your Choice (Our Favorites Are Sweet Baby Ray's Or Open Pit If We Want To Give It A Little More Of A Kick)
- Hamburger Buns Or Kaiser Rolls
- If you use frozen chicken, make sure it is completely defrosted.
- If you cook it frozen, it will indeed cook but it will make a very wet sauce.
- Place your chicken in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Top with onions, then pineapple.
- Pour the entire bottle of BBQ sauce over the whole thing.
- Note: If you want a sweeter BBQ, add up to half a cup of the pineapple juice you drained, depending on how sweet you want it.
- This is optional.
- Turn your crock pot on LOW and cook for 810 hours (or on HIGH for 46).
- An hour or two before it is finished cooking, carefully remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
- Watch out, it will be hot!
- Place chicken back in the crock pot and stir well to combine.
- Finish cooking an additional hour or two so the chicken can absorb most of the sauce.
- Serve on hamburger buns and top with coleslaw if desired.
- Note: When I had made it with Sweet Baby Rays and pineapple juice, it was a very sweet Pulled Chicken.
- It was great, and everyone loved it.
- But I have to say, using Open Pit BBQ Sauce and no pineapple juice was hands down our favorite!
- It had just the right amount of sweet and vinegar that we love in a good BBQ.
- If you are making this for kids, children tend to like the sweeter variety.
