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.
