Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
Trim the chicken breasts.
Mix your spices and rub them onto the chicken breasts, pressing them in on both sides.
Drizzle olive oil into the Dutch oven and add the seasoned chicken.
Put the lid on your dutch oven and place them into the oven for 1 hour.
While the chicken cooks, together the ingredients for the bbq sauce: ketchup, dark brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, coarse dijon mustard, honey, and worcestershire sauce. Set it aside.
Remove the chicken breasts from the dutch oven and discard any excess liquid.
Shred the chicken with two forks or use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
Return the shredded chicken to the pan, add the BBQ sauce, and return it to the oven (uncovered) for 10 minutes.

Storage Tips: Storing leftover pulled chicken is easy, and it'll last for 3-4 days in the fridge if you store it correctly:

First, allow the pulled chicken to cool down to room temperature.

Second, divide the pulled chicken into smaller portions based on your needs. This makes it easier to reheat when you need it.

Third, Place the chicken into an airtight container(s) and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Finally, label your container and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days (or in the freezer for up to 3 months).
