Instructions
- Place the chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a 6-8 quart slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the diced onion on top and pour in the BBQ sauce. No extra liquid is needed.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. I recommend using low if possible.
- Remove each piece of chicken from the slow cooker. Let it rest for 5 minutes, and then shred it with two forks.
- Return it to the slow cooker and mix with sauce. Or place it in a bowl and add your desired amount of sauce.
- To make chicken sandwiches add the shredded meat to a roll. Top it with slaw or cheese.
Notes
- Do not use frozen chicken in this recipe. Use my Instant Pot BBQ Shredded Chicken recipe instead.
- You can adjust the quantity depending on how much you want to cook and how large your crockpot is. As a rule of thumb, use 1 cup of sauce for every pound of meat.
- I get juicier chicken from my slow cooker when I cook chicken on low, not high. I recommend using low if you have the time.
- Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before shredding. It will reabsorb some juices and be more tender.
