Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 hardboiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup southern style mayonnaise
  • cracked black pepper and salt to your liking

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven (with the Dutch oven inside) to 350°. Add 4 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of minced garlic in there while it is preheating.
  • Hard-boil 2 eggs and set aside to cool.
  • Cook the chicken for 30 minutes covered, and 15 mins uncovered, or until a little browned. When it's done, put the lid back on so it doesn't dry out, and let it cool off to the side while you do the next steps.
  • Dice up 1/2 cup sweet onion (about a half a medium onion), 1/4 cup celery (about 1.5 stalks), your 2 hard boiled eggs, and then finally your chicken.
  • Before you combine everything, mix in 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce into the chicken.
  • Now mix everything else together, including 1/4 southern style mayonnaise.
  • Enjoy!
