BBQ Pulled Grouse Sliders

You can use whatever BBQ sauce you like. I have made my own homemade BBQ sauce (ingredients below) in the past, but lately I have enjoyed using Diana's BBQ which you can find in most grocery stores.

This is the base BBQ sauce I started with, you then add whatever ingredients your taste buds desire, otherwise use 4 cups of your favorite BBQ Sauce.

4 cups of ketchup

4 tablespoons of brown sugar

1/2 cup of molasses

1 tablespoon of dry mustard

2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning

1 Tablespoon of worchestire sauce

Pinch of salt and pepper

4 onions

5 birds (bone in)

Directions:

Boil birds in water for about 20 minutes then remove and let cool.

With your hands, pull the meat from the bone, it will usually come apart like string cheese.

Place all the meat in a crockpot or roasting dish.

Cut up 2 onions and sauté them in butter with some salt and pepper and then

add the onions to the crock pot or roasting dish.

Mix the rest of the ingredients in a pot and bring to low boil, then add the BBQ sauce to

Crockpot or roasting dish.

Slow cook for 8 hours stirring the ingredients every hour. If you need more liquid you can cut some

BBQ sauce with water and add during the roasting time; however, if you over saturate the meat with

liquid just cook longer to get your desired consistency.

Add the remaining chopped onion during the last hour of cooking.

When done, serve up on a dinner roll or Kaiser roll with some shredded cheese.

This is a great one for the trails. I will vacuum seal individual portions and bring them for lunch

on the trail or on the ice during Ice fishing.
