Pulled Chipotle Beer Chicken Sliders

Pulled Chipotle Beer Chicken Sliders

I’ve made a decision.

I need to clear the emotional cache from this past week. I need to a little distance from reality and my incessant need to over-think. I need a break and a beer and I’ve decided that a trip to Bend, Oregon can fix what ails me right now. Or at least numb it and distract me enough to remind me how big the world is.

I’ve even booked a place that has a kitchen, because I’ve already told you about my need to bake bread when I’m sad, and my over excitement for the sourdough starter I made (yes, I’m contemplating bringing it with me like a cat in a carrier). I’m leaving in 11 days and I’m going to update you, like I did when I was here. Because even if you can’t blow off Thanksgiving to road trip and drink beer, I still want you along for the ride.

I also made you some sliders, because football is forever and we need food for that, these just take 20 minutes.

Spare us the political meanderings, we follow your blog because we have a common interest in beer and food.

This has nothing to do with politics, it’s about food and beer. And please don’t speak for everyone with "we"
And you seem a little sensitive over there in Bedminster, New Jersey.

What is the estimated time for simmering the chicken until it is cooked through?

About 6-8 minutes. It depends on how thick your chicken is and how well you sear the outsides.
