This is the best carolina pulled barbecue chicken that I've ever put in my mouth!! Jim and I don't even make the barbecue sauce and it still tastes awesome. We've made this recipe so many times that we should be growing feathers! Read more ! I looked before I posted this and saw a couple carolina pulled chicken recipes, but mine has a few different seasonings, so I posted anyway. Enjoy!! See less

How to make it
- For Chicken:
- In a small bowl combine all rub ingredients.
- Remove and discard neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Coat the chicken inside and out with the rub.
- Let chicken sit at room temperature while you heat up your grill, or for at least 30 minutes.
- Brush or spray with vegetable oil.
- Follow your grills directions for using wood chunks. Grill the chicken, breast side up, over indirect-medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees in the breast, 180 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh. About 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours.
- Remove chicken from the grill and let rest. When cool enough to handle, tear chicken into bite-sized pieces, or shred, discarding the skin and bones.
- For Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together all sauce ingredients, adding salt to taste.
- To Serve:
- Pile the shredded chicken on buns and top with slaw and a generous spoonful of the sauce. Serve with your favorite chips.
- Enjoy!!
