Using a trivet for pulled cicken

[negolien]

Hey All,

Th recipe I use calls for the chicken to be put on a trivet. Wouldn't it be better to sit in whatever fluid I'm using?

Well, the trivet will keep it off the bottom of the pan (like a wire rack) which will most likely allow air around the bottom and under to cook more evenly (my guess).

It sounds like your recipe wants to cook the chicken dry - not in the juices.

Yeah I agree I didn't do it that way lol. I always put my stuff down in the bbq sauce/broth
