Barbecue pulled chicken with sweet potato wedges

Barbecue pulled chicken with sweet potato wedges. Here’s a simple and delicious overview for making Barbecue Pulled Chicken with Sweet Potato Wedges.

Ingredients Overview
Pulled Chicken:

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Your favorite barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika for added flavor
Sweet Potato Wedges:

Barbecue pulled chicken

Sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
Olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings like paprika or chili powder for a flavorful kick
High-Level Instructions
Sweet Potato Wedges: Preheat your oven and toss the sweet potato wedges in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any extra seasonings. Spread them on a baking tray and roast until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Pulled Chicken: Cook the chicken using your preferred method—either slow-cook in a crockpot with barbecue sauce until it can be easily shredded, or poach it in seasoned water and then coat it with barbecue sauce once shredded. If you have more time, using a slow cooker can deepen the flavors.

Assembly: Serve the pulled chicken over buns or alongside the crispy sweet potato wedges. You can also add coleslaw or pickles for extra crunch and freshness.
Tips
Cooking Methods: Using a slow cooker for the chicken makes it especially tender, but a stovetop method works well if you’re short on time.
Spice It Up: Adjust the barbecue sauce to your taste; you can add honey for sweetness, chili flakes for heat, or a splash of apple cider vinegar for tang.

Recipe tips
If you reduce the amount of chicken you are cooking, or are using a very large roasting tin where the thighs are more spread out, the thighs may cook more quickly.

We’ve used chicken thighs as they are cheaper and more tender than chicken breasts. If you prefer to use chicken breasts, just reduce the cooking time to about 20–30 minutes in the oven. This chicken makes a great filling for other sandwiches or wraps too. You could add slices of cheese, mayo, mustard or gherkins to these pulled chicken sandwiches if preferred.
