Steps:

• Heat the EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallots, stir and cook to soften, 3 minutes. Add the ketchup, stock, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, syrup, vinegar, whiskey and some black pepper. Stir and simmer to thicken, 20 minutes. Add the Pulled Chicken to the sauce and simmer to thicken, 20 minutes. Cool and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, bake the bacon at 375 degrees F until crisp on a slotted pan or metal rack set into a baking sheet, for the fat to drain. Warm the saucy chicken, adding a little stock or water to loosen if necessary. Serve the chicken on the rolls with the bacon, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and pickles.
• Place the chicken in a large stockpot. Add the peppercorns, celery, garlic, bay leaf, garlic, carrots, lemons, onions and the herb bundle tied with string. Sprinkle with salt. Cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, a rolling simmer. Simmer 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, then cool the chicken in its stock. Strain the stock, discarding the vegetables and reserve the stock for a later use. Remove the chicken in large pieces from the skin and bones. Cut half of the meat into bite-size chunks, reserving for a later use. Thinly slice or pull the remaining meat.

• Combine the olive oil, mustard, celery, scallions and apple in a small bowl. Mix well and season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Divide the South-of-Something Chicken and sauce among the buns. Top each with some slaw and close to make sandwiches. Serve immediately.

• In a small bowl, mix together the coriander, smoked paprika, cumin. 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
• Lightly coat the chickens with oil, then sprinkle generously with the salt and spice mixture.
• Combine the tomatoes, garlic and onions in a large roasting pan and place the two chickens on top, breast-side up. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes (as the chicken rests, the temperature will rise to 165 degrees F).
• Transfer the chicken to a large carving board to rest, then place the roasting pan on the stovetop and bring the tomato mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and season to taste with salt and pepper. Puree with a hand blender or transfer to a blender to process until smooth. Reserve the sauce and serve the chicken.
• After serving the chicken, pull any remaining meat from the bones and mix with the sauce. Freeze in small containers for up to 3 months.
