Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add beer and barbecue sauce; stir until combined. In a large pot over medium heat, combine apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic, and diced onion.

Steps to make Pulled BBQ Chicken:
  1. Brine:
  2. Combine Brine Ingredients in pot and place on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat when the salt/sugar have dissolved and let cool to room temperature.
  4. Place chicken in plastic bag/bowl and pour in brine to cover.
  5. Place in refrigerator for 4-24 hours.
  6. Remove chicken from brine, rinse, and pat dry.
  7. Sauce/Chicken:
  8. Using the Sauce Ingredients, combine water, bbq sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, onion, and garlic in a heavy pot.
  9. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place into sauce pot, ensuring the chicken is covered by the liquid.
  10. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through). Remove chicken.
  11. Boil the sauce until it reduces by about half.
  12. While sauce is boiling/reducing, shred chicken with two forks. Note that the longer you let your chicken sit in the brine, the easier it will shred.
  13. When sauce has reduced, turn heat down to low. Add salt/pepper to taste.
  14. Add shredded chicken to sauce and heat through. Plate onto buns and serve.

I actually made this in the oven instead of the crock pot. For those who commented that the sauce was watery - shredding the chicken will help absorb it and make sure you are using a molasses based sauce and not a vinegar based sauce. Shredded meat — beef, pork, or chicken — is one of the most versatile dinner elements you can imagine! Cook up a few pounds to stash in the freezer, then dole it out for weeknight meals all month long. Or make a huge batch and feed a whole crowd of people in one go.
