Trader Joe's latest dinnertime time-saver is its new Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken product.
While pulled chicken is delicious, it requires a lot of cooking time because the chicken must be cooked low and slow for hours to yield that tendser, yet flavorful final product. Now, Trader Joe's is helping consumers skip this time-consuming step by creating a pulled chicken product that is essentially ready to eat. The new Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken product features pulled chicken that has been seasoned with garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and a special seasoning blend that includes ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The chicken is then smoked in a small-batch rotisserie smoker, using actual hardwood logs, until it's tender enough to shred. So all you need to do is pull the chicken out of the box and microwave for a few minutes.
