Cooking Instructions
1.
Place the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (1 lb) in an empty saucepan. Season generously with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste), 1-2 tsp each (the extra seasoning is needed to flavor the chicken). Add water until the chicken is covered by 1-inch.
2.
Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 more minutes until the middle is no longer pink or the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
3.
Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined tray to cool slightly.
4.
In a medium bowl, combine the Coleslaw Mix (1 cup) and the Ranch Dressing (4 Tbsp). Season with Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and Salt (to taste), if desired.
5.
To shred the chicken, transfer the chicken to the bowl of a stand mixer and blend for 30-60 seconds until shredded. You can also use a hand mixer, or shred by hand with two forks.
6.
Add the Barbecue Sauce (1/2 cup) to the shredded chicken and toss until fully coated.
7.
Place a skillet over high heat. Once hot, toast the Hamburger Buns (4) in the dry pan for 1-2 minutes, until golden.
8.
Place a quarter of the shredded chicken on each of the bottom buns. Top with the ranch slaw and serve with sides of choice.
