How to cook chicken for BBQ chicken sandwiches?

• I bought some chicken thighs to make bbq chicken sandwiches. I want to cook and shred the chicken and then add bbq sauce. What is the best way to cook the chicken?

• Answer:

  The very best way in my experience (short of the traditional way of slowly cooking them for hours in a traditional smoker) is to bake them in the oven very slowly for a long time at low heat (maybe 2 or 3 hours at 200-225 degrees). I would rub them a day before with your favorite dry rub, and let them sit in a shallow dish covered in plastic wrap, or a ziplock bag, in the fridge overnight, then bake. Bake in a covered oven-proof baking dish, and then remove the cover for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Once baked, let them cool until cool enough to handle, and pull the meat off the bones, and then pull the chunks of meat apart into shreds, like pulled pork. Mix in a little of your favorite BBQ sauce, pile onto your buns, and cover with a little more of the BBQ sauce and some fresh coleslaw. YUM!
