3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Preheat boiling to 205°F (96°C). Prepare chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) (1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, submerged in simmering chicken broth with halved onion and smashed garlic).
2
Cook
Cook for 14–18 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.
3
Check & Rest
Meat is tender enough to shred effortlessly with two forks; internal temperature reaches 175°F+. Confirm internal temperature reaches 175°F–180°F (79°C–82°C) internal for fork-shredding. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Verification Basis & Testing Rig
USDA FSIS 165°F poultry safety threshold; National Chicken Council Boiling and Shredding Guidelines.
Pro Tip: Boneless thighs contain more connective collagen than breasts; taking them past the 165°F safety threshold to 175°F–180°F melts gelatin for succulent shredded chicken.
