When it comes to cooking, even basic cooking, we’re all for life hacks. If there’s a trending video on how to fold a burrito without spilling everything, we’re all about it. If you have a technique to make fluffier scrambled eggs, we’ll tweet it for days. If you have a way to make brownies gooier, we’ll stop what we’re doing to find out. We love a good hack. But there’s a strange phenomenon that occurs sometimes when we learn a new hack. First, we’re annoyed that we never thought of it and then we’re overjoyed to know about it. The newest hack that we wish we thought of is an ingenious technique for chicken shredding.

Before anything, you should note that your chicken should already be cooked. Shredding raw chicken is not only disgusting, but it will simply end in a gooey, smelly pile of mess. The key is to cook your chicken before shredding it. The best option is to poach or bake boneless chicken breasts or thighs. Then put the chicken into a mixing bowl and shred it using a hand or stand mixer. Start slow and then eyeball how the shred looks to see if you want it smaller or if it’s nice and chunky.

It’s simple, easy, and works well for soups, salads, pulled chicken, or any recipe that calls for pulled chicken. Even if you somehow can’t grasp what we’re saying, there’s a TikTok video explaining just how to do it. In the video from the account @raising.wildlings, the video creator cooked chicken in an Instant Pot and then shredded it with a hand mixer. It’s simple, easy, and the kind of life hack we can get behind.
