We're loving gochujang right now and fancied making something different, so David googled ‘korean pulled chicken’ to see if there was recipes…this recipe for slow-cooker korean pulled chicken was the 2nd one from the search results on Shared Appetite's website. It looked really appetising and the fact it was made in the slow cooker really appealed too…we weren’t disappointed!
The first time we made it, we had some in a couple of our brioche burger buns and the next day used up the leftovers in quesadillas. See the tips below for other suggestions on what to use this slow-cooker korean pulled chicken in.
Tips
- Enjoy in a bun, in quesadillas, on nachos, chips or as a pizza topping…delicious!
- The recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
- It freezes well…if you’ve got any leftovers.
