With Two Forks:
- 1 pound cooked chicken*

Instructions
- Using Your Hands: Once the chicken is cooked and cool enough to handle, but still warm, place it on a clean surface like a cutting board or plate. Use your hands to pull the chicken apart into small, even pieces until you’ve shredded it to your desired texture.
- With Two Forks: Place your warm, cooked chicken on a sturdy cutting board. Use two forks to pull the chicken apart at the center, continuing to shred into smaller and smaller pieces until the chicken is shredded to your preference.
- With a Hand Mixer: Put the cooked chicken breast or thighs into a deep bowl. Use a hand mixer on low speed to carefully break apart the chicken into shreds. If necessary, shred larger pieces manually for even shreds.
- With a Stand Mixer: Place the cooked chicken in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, turn the stand mixer on low speed. Allow the mixer to shred the chicken in about 15-20 seconds.
