Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Prick the potatoes all over, rub with oil and salt and bake for 50–55 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, place chicken thighs in a small saucepan with stock, garlic powder and paprika. Simmer for 20 minutes until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Discard most of the liquid, leaving a couple of tablespoons.

  4. 4

    Stir the BBQ sauce into the shredded chicken and warm through for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Split the jacket potatoes open, fill generously with the pulled chicken and scatter over grated cheddar. Serve with coleslaw or salad.
