Hello there, My name is Rolla and I am very glad you’ve stopped by to read my cooking blog. It looks like nowadays not many people have time and/or mood to cook food at home. And I think, even less of them are actually enjoying the process of making home food, they probably think: making food is hard or boring. So I really hope you will find recipes posted here useful, tasty and fun to prepare, and you will actually enjoy cooking them.

Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Glazed Pulled Chicken



















Ingredients:
For Chicken
2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper,
1 tsp tarragon, dried

For Glaze
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions:
In a small bowl mix together tarragon, salt, pepper and water. Pour over chicken.

Add the chicken and juices to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.

After 2 1/2 hours, mix the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts thickening. It should start to thicken as soon as it comes to a boil.

Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker and toss, so that the chicken is covered in the sauce thoroughly.

Cook for an additional hour in the slow cooker on low.

Remove chicken from slow cooker into a big bowl and carefully pull it apart using two forks.

Serve warm with remaining glaze on the side, if preferred.
