Super Bowl Extravaganza

0

It’s the start of Suu-Suuuu-Suuuuper Bowl weekend baby! And my Giants are in it……again! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout!

There is only one way to watch this game, and it’s with a party. A massive one at that. I love a good party, sometimes they can be a pain in the ass to throw because, lets be honest, cleaning up all that shit suuuuucks! But when its all said and done, I really do have a great time hosting shindigs. Parties should always have 3 great things: great food, great drinks and a great crowd. If you have that, then your party is already a success. Why not try a few of these this Sunday….

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders in the crock pot

– 1 1/2 lbs raw chicken breast
– 1 cup canned tomato sauce
– 1/2 cup ketchup
– 2 tbsp plus 2 tsp cider vinegar
– 4-5 tbs brown sugar (not packed)
– 2 tsp garlic powder
optional: red pepper flakes

Directions:
Place all ingredients except the the chicken in the crock pot. Stir until mixed. Add chicken and coat well with the sauce.

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked.

Remove all the chicken and place it in a bowl. Shred each piece using two forks – one to hold the chicken in place an the other to scrape across the meat and shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix well with the sauce.

This recipe is sooooooo good and it makes A LOT. I buy those mini little potato rolls to make sliders and I buy a bag broccoli slaw with Marie’s coleslaw dressing, mix that all up and add a small scoop on top each slider for an extra crunch. Perfect for a big crowd. An added plus to this one – 1/2 cup of the shredded chicken is approximately 149 calories. Boom.

You’ll need something to wash these down with. Yeah sure, beer is your go-to beverage. It’s cheap and comes in mass quantity, but c’mon! Spice that shizz up a little. We all know beer sucks and makes you feel like a heffer. So try out some of these below, guarantee the men and ladies will enjoy and most importantly, drink up.
