This slow cooker BBQ chicken is a straightforward, hands-off meal that produces tender, saucy chicken that can be shredded easily. Serve it on its own, pile it into sandwich buns, or pair it with coleslaw and dill pickle chips.
Print Pin Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken breasts, (boneless, skinless)
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce, I used Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ
- 1/2 medium onion, grated (with juice)
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients directly in a 5-6 qt slow cooker and stir until blended.
- Place the chicken into the slow cooker and turn each piece so it is coated with the sauce. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours. Check the chicken sooner when using smaller pieces, preparing a smaller batch, or using a slow cooker that tends to cook quickly. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F, is fully cooked through, and shreds easily.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred each breast, then return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Stir well so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
