Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ½ cup shredded chicken
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • ¼ small red onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ teaspoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup hot water

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Drain the eggs and transfer them to cold water. Let them cool completely, then peel, halve lengthwise, and remove the yolks to a bowl.
  • In a small bowl, stir the vinegar, sugar, salt, and hot water until dissolved. Add the sliced onion, press to submerge, and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain very well.
  • Mash the egg yolks until smooth, then mix in the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and chipotle powder until creamy and well combined.
  • Fold in about half of the BBQ chicken mixture, keeping the filling smooth and spoonable.
  • Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg white halves.
  • Top with pickled red onion and a light sprinkle of fried onions just before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • For ultra-smooth filling, push the yolks through a fine sieve before mixing.
  • Let the pickled onions drain well so they don’t water down the eggs and make them the day before for the best flavor.
  • Use a thicker barbecue sauce for the best flavor and texture.
  • Fill the eggs just before serving for the freshest look.
