One of tastiest foods that the South has to offer is BBQ. Pulled pork BBQ with North Carolina style sauce (it's vinegar based) is so good that it'll make you want to move down south. Now normally I'm a fan of ketchup and will put it on just about anything, but when it comes to my BBQ I prefer the tangy, vinegar base BBQ sauce that North Carolina is known for. Haven't tried it yet? Then I highly suggest you stop by Bullock's BBQ the next time you go through Durham, NC. They know a thing or two about cooking and southern hospitality.
Crock Pot BBQ Chicken
(4-6 servings)
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
12 ounces BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)
1/2 cup fat free Italian salad dressing
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
optional: 1/4 cup brown sugar
Add chicken to crock pot. Mix BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar (if using) in a small bowl until ingredients are incorporated. Pour over chicken. Cook over low heat for 6 hours. Take a fork and shred chicken in the crock pot. (This will be very easy as the chicken will be extremely tender at this point.) Cook another 1-2 hours over low heat.
