In our house, we don't agree on how much barbecue sauce should be added to our pulled chicken. Some like the sauce to be dripping, and I like a minimal amount. This is a simple recipe for pulled chicken, and you may add any amount of barbecue sauce you would like. You could also use this pulled chicken as a protein for a green salad, or a filling for a taco, with a few seasoning tweaks. Or, dice it (instead of pulling it) and use in a mayonnaise-based chicken salad. However you choose to use it, you can start it on the stovetop, finish it in the oven, and have dinner on the table in less than an hour.

Ingredients

3 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
½ cup barbeque sauce, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a 12-inch, nonstick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
Cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cover with foil; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. The residual heat will bring the internal temperature to the recommended 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Remove and discard skin and bones. Use 2 forks to shred chicken.
Serve warm with barbecue sauce.
