The following ingredients have 4 Servings

• 7 to 8 pounds boneless (skinless chicken thighs)
• 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (optional, but tasty!)
• 6 cloves garlic (peeled and minced, or 3 teaspoons granulated garlic)
• 1 onion (peeled and chopped, or 3 teaspoons granulated onion)
• 3 dashes liquid smoke

Instruction

• Add all of the ingredients to a slow cooker and stir to distribute. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the chicken easily falls apart when pulled with tongs or forks. Use tongs to lift the chicken into a heat-proof bowl and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before shredding. Use immediately or cover and cool in the refrigerator before dividing between zipper-top freezer bags to freeze for future use. Label the bags with the contents and the date and freeze. Use within 6 months for optimal quality.
