One of my favorite mock recipes is for slow-cooked BBQ. This mimics pulled pork, only it's much easer, much less fattening, and pretty darn easy. It's not really even a recipe--like so many of my recipes!
Take any amount of bone-in chicken thighs. Season them up with salt and pepper, or a BBQ seasoning if you like. Brown them in a skillet on both sides. Transfer to a Crock-Pot set on High. Deglaze pan with some apple cider vinegar, about half a cup of BBQ sauce, and enough chicken stock to cover the meat halfway. Bring to boil, pour over the chicken, and throw on the lid. In a few hours, you'll be able to pull them out, shred them up, and mix it with your favorite BBQ sauce (My personal favorite is NOH Hawaiian, if you can find it) for some really yummy sandwiches--no heating up the kitchen. It doesn't compare, of course, to a true slow-roasted BBQ...but it's a good knock-off, and it's cheap, and everyone likes it. Great served with some salad and baked beans.
