We love mustard-based barbeque sauce for its bright piquancy and tangy pop of vinegar. In this recipe we slow cook chicken thighs in the mustardy sauce until pull-apart tender. We shred and serve the chicken on a pillow of creamy cauliflower with a side of slow cooked bell peppers. You can use store bought or homemade mustard-vinegar bbq sauce. At the store look for “Carolina style” bbq sauce; if you want to make your own, try this recipe.
