Mmm…pulled chicken! Pulled meats are so popular now especially pork and beef.
Last week I posted on a KFC quinoa casserole and shared to Twitter, Facebook and Google+. After I shared to twitter my friend Kate (Star Trek podcaster and aficionado extraordinaire) asked if I had included gherkins. I hadn’t but the KFC Australia twitter account claimed it would like to see a version with a gherkin.
@garydlum @kateisgreatok @kfc We'd love to see the version with gherkins too Gary! #yummylummy

The next night I responded after preparing a bowl of KFC quinoa casserole with a gherkin.
Here is the photograph of the gherkin surprise in the KFC quinoa casserole
Kate suggested I further explore KFC menu ideas and mentioned pulled chicken wraps.
Over the last few days I’ve experimented a little with dijon quinoa wraps in various forms. I published a post earlier on my experiments. It’s mainly photographs but worth a look.

- Quinoa
- Dijon mustard
- Spinach leaves

Do you like pulled chicken? Do you think KFC might like this as a menu idea?
At the beginning of this post I mentioned Kate and her Star Trek podcasting. Kate has recently interviewed Doug Drexler and you can hear the podcast here.
I’ve never tried pulled chicken before! I didn’t know it was a thing!
I do it with thigh meat because it’s usually moist and juicy unlike the breast which can be dry and stringy. It was nice 🙂
