This slow cooker BBQ chicken recipe delivers tender and juicy meat infused with a flavorful honey BBQ sauce. Perfect for sandwiches or served alongside your favorite sides.
Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 5-6 count
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce (e.g., Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ)
- 1/2 medium onion grated (with juice)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Begin by combining all sauce ingredients in a slow cooker with a capacity of 5-6 quarts.
Cooking Chicken:
- Add the chicken to the sauce and toss to ensure it's evenly coated. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours. Monitor smaller pieces of chicken to ensure they don’t overcook.
- Check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165˚F, indicating it’s fully cooked and easy to shred.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to mix with the sauce.
Notes
Serve as is or in buns with coconut coleslaw and dill pickle chips.
