Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken
Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken uses boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked gently in water and liquid smoke before being shredded and mixed with barbecue sauce. The slow cooking tenderizes the meat, creating a shreddable texture suited for sandwiches, baked potatoes, or taquitos. The blend of liquid smoke and BBQ sauce lends a smoky-sweet flavor throughout the chicken. This hands-off approach yields moist, flavorful chicken ready to be served in various casual meals.
