I used a little Sriracha instead of jalapenos.
Gives it some heat while retaining the Asian influence. Very good!

Yum! I’m really excited to give the apple butter a try! Apple and chicken just go so well together!

I found this post when I was looking for a recipe for pulled chicken, and I have to say, I love this cooking method! I used different flavors and served the chicken in tacos instead of on a bun, but it was such a huge hit! I blogged about my version of pulled chicken recently and wanted to thank you for such a great original idea!

I made this recipe and posted my experiences on my healthy food blog. It was fine, but not too Asian, but I blame that on my five-spice powder, it seems like only cinnamon. Next time I would add more soy sauce and maybe a touch of sesame oil and seeds at the end. We had leftovers from this, which was nice on salads greens.

In reply to Tina Bontrager. The shredded Brussels sprout salad? It's delicious! I've made it for a few people and it's always a huge hit (even with picky teenage boys!)

Asian chicken sliders sound amazing , also the barbecue shrimp, however I love Brussels sprouts but is this a tasty salad?

For some reason I’m just not a huge fan of straight-up apple butter, but I love how it’s used here! Maybe I’ll just have to whip up a batch and try this recipe before the season’s through.

Here’s another great way to use apple butter:

Apple Butter Barbecued Shrimp (makes 24 appetizer servings)

3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup apple butter
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 slices partially cooked bacon, cut in half
24 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Preheat grill for 5 minutes on high. Combine maple syrup, apple butter and mustard in a zip-top plastic bag. Add shrimp and marinate for 30 minutes. Remove shrimp, reserving marinade. Wrap each shrimp in the bacon. Fasten with toothpick.
Grill 3 minutes. Then brush with reserved marinade and turn. Brush the other side with remaining marinade and grill 2 to 3 minutes more, until shrimp are cooked.
