Tried shredding it up with a fork, didn't work so well, will be investing in meat rakes.

Last grill my ciabatta bun with garlic butter that I made, melted some baby swiss cheese on the top bun, piled on the smoke chicken, and added more of the chimichurri. It was very delicious, I think I am going to use this sandwich in a BBQ sandwich cook off on July 4th.

Looks really good!

IMHO thighs are the easiest part of the chicken to "pull" I like smoke them, skin on, do not scrape the fat. I take them up to an IT of 180*-190*. Then foil and rest for an hour before pulling.

Good luck with your competition. Let us know how it goes!
