Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 5 cloves garlic I actually used garlic in brine but fresh is fine too!
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 18 oz apricot preserves
  • 1/4 cup hot peri-peri sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice

Instructions
 

  • At least 3 hrs before you want to make the pulled chicken, place all ingredients in a resealable bag or marinating container. Refrigerate.
  • Add the contents of the marinating container to a 4-quart slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours. When done, meat should shred easily with a fork. Shred chicken with a fork.
  • Toss to evenly coat with sauce.
  • Serve on rolls.

Notes

You can use store-bought or homemade preserves to great results.
