Sweet 'n Tangy Shredded BBQ Chicken
My name is Jesse W. I am a 28-year-old male in Ohio with cystic fibrosis. I was diagnosed at 6 months of age. I am not a trained chef, but take pride in my culinary abilities. I have created my own recipe book with about 20 recipes as of right now. This is the most recent addition. I got the idea for this recipe from a TV show, only they did it with pork loin, root beer, and different spices and vegetables. The pork loin didn't look or sound good to me, so I thought I'd try it with chicken and my own little spin. I hope you enjoy :)
