Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Burger buns
  • Coleslaw (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts evenly in the crockpot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking.
  5. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks or meat shredder claws.
  6. Stir the shredded chicken to coat it thoroughly in the sauce. Add a splash of chicken broth if the mixture is too thick.
  7. Toast the buns lightly on a skillet or in the oven.
  8. Spoon the BBQ chicken onto the buns and add coleslaw or other desired toppings.

Notes

[‘Slow cooking on low heat ensures tender chicken with maximum flavor.’, ‘Toast the buns for added texture and to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Adjust the sweetness of the BBQ sauce by adding more brown sugar if needed.’, ‘Use fresh chicken for juicier results.’, ‘Keep extra BBQ sauce on the side for those who prefer a saucier sandwich.’]
