Do-Ahead Minced Barbecue Chicken12 broiler-fryer chicken quarters
1 quart apple cider vinegar
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 teaspoons onion salt
1-1/2 teaspoons coarsely-ground fresh pepper
2 bay leaves
24 oat bran round sandwich buns
1 cup Dijon mustard
In large saucepan, mix together vinegar,
chicken broth, onion salt, pepper and bay leaves. Over high
temperature, bring to a boil. Arrange chicken in a
refrigerator bowl and pour hot vinegar mixture over all. Cover
and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours. Place chicken
on prepared grill, skin side up, about 8 inches from heat.
Place 2 cups of the marinade in small saucepan and bring to a
boil on grill or stovetop. Grill chicken, turning and basting
with boiled marinade every 10-15 minutes, about 1 hour or
until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease. Remove
chicken from grill and let cool about 10 minutes. Remove
chicken from bone, discarding bones and skin. Place meat from
4 quarters at a time in food processor* and chop with off-on
motion 3 or 4 times until chicken is coarsely chopped. Repeat
with remaining chicken (should be about 9 cups). Boil
remaining marinade to reduce to 1-1/4 cups; pour over minced
chicken. Serve on buns spread with mustard. Garnish with dill
pickle slice, if desired.
* Chop with knife if processor is not available.
