Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Recipe
This slow cooker BBQ chicken is a simple, hands-off meal that produces tender, shreddable chicken coated in a rich, sweet-and-savory barbecue sauce. It works well for sandwiches, sliders, rice bowls, or an easy main dish, and most of the cooking happens unattended in the slow cooker.

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 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 5-6 qt slow cooker.
- Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or for 6 to 7 hours on low. Check on the chicken earlier if using smaller chicken pieces, if making a smaller batch, or if you know your slow cooker runs hot. Chicken is done when cooked through to an internal temperature of 165˚F and is easy to shred.
- Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred each breast using two forks. Place shredded chicken back in the crock pot and stir to coat with the yummy sauce.
