Yes, this recipe involves REAL chicken, but feel free to sub veggie chicken if you have not come to the dark side like me. It has been over 20 years since I've eaten BBQ and I never had carolina style, so this was an experience. This recipe is simple and absolutely deeeeelicious!
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3 TBS white wine vinegar, divided
1 1/2 TBS honey, divided
2 TBS water
3 TBS Trad.er Joe.s seeded Dijon mustard
1 - 2 TBS Trad.er Joe.s BBQ sauce (my alteration to the original recipe)
salt/ pepper
1 TBS butter
1 1/2 lbs skinless, bonless chicken thighs (or veggie chicken)
Buns, toasted on grill
1. Pre-heat grill to med-high heat
2. Combine sliced onion, 1 TBS vinegar and 1 1/2 tsp honey in a small bowl. Toss well. Cover and place in fridge 30 min.
3. Combine remaining vinegar, 1 TBS honey, water, mustard and 1/4 tsp pepper in a small sauce pan over med-low heat. Bring to a simmer (do not boil). Simmer 5 minutes, stir in butter, remove from heat.
4. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill 4 minutes on each side until done. Remove. Cool slightly. Shred chicken into bite sized pieces. Add to sauce.
5. Place on toasted bun and top with pickled onions!
