Carolina Shredded Chicken

Ingredients:
6 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (about 2 lbs.)
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/4 tsp. paprika
SAUCE:
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
2/3 c. vinegar
1/2 c. ketchup
1/4 c. packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp. spicy brown mustard
6 sandwich buns

Directions:
Heat gas grill for medium-high heat or charcoal grill to medium-hot coals.

Sprinkle chicken on all sides with seasoned salt and paprika.  When grill is ready, place chicken on grill grate.  Cook, turning once, for 18 minutes, or until thigh registers 180 degrees on an instant read thermometer.

Meanwhile, heat oil in medium-size saucepan over medium heat.  Add onion and cook 5 minutes.  Stir in vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar and mustard.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Remove chicken from the grill and allow to cool slightly.  With 2 forks or your hands, shred meat from the bones.  Add shredded chicken to sauce and heat through.  Divide chicken to sauce and heat through.  Divide chicken evenly among sandwich buns, a heaping 1/3 c. on each.
