Ingredients
10 servings
- •3 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
- •salt and ground black pepper to taste
- •2 tablespoons avocado oil
- •0.5 cup barbeque sauce, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch, nonstick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cover with foil; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. The residual heat will bring the internal temperature to the recommended 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove and discard skin and bones. Use 2 forks to shred chicken.
- Serve warm with barbecue sauce.
