Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Recipe
Description
This recipe places chicken breasts in a slow cooker with a mix of BBQ sauce, grated onion with juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. The ingredients combine to create a sweet and savory sauce infused with onion. Cooking on low for six to seven hours or high for two to three hours tenderizes the chicken thoroughly until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and can be shredded easily.
After cooking, the chicken is removed and shredded with forks, then returned to the slow cooker to absorb more of the sauce’s flavor. The slow, moist cooking results in juicy, pull-apart chicken coated in a sticky, slightly sweet barbecue sauce that is versatile and convenient.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce I used Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ
- 1/2 onion grated (with juice, medium
- 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.
