How to Make Pulled Chicken From a Rotisserie Chicken (No Skin)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the chicken:

    • Remove all skin.

    • Pull the meat off the bones while the chicken is warm — it shreds much easier.

  2. Shred:

    • Use your fingers or two forks to pull the chicken into thin strands.

    • Mix white and dark meat for the best flavor.

  3. Season or sauce (optional):
    Choose one:

    • BBQ: Add ½ cup BBQ sauce + 1–2 tbsp water, simmer 5 minutes.

    • Buffalo: Toss with buffalo sauce + a spoon of butter.

    • Taco: Sprinkle with taco seasoning + splash of chicken broth.

    • Plain: Just season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for use in salads or wraps.

  4. Warm (optional):

    • Heat in a skillet for 3–5 minutes with a splash of broth to keep it juicy.
