Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 bottle (18 oz) Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for tang) For added flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
For Serving
  • Hamburger buns, coleslaw, pickles, or rice Choose your preferred serving option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour evenly over the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and shreds easily.
  2. Shred the chicken and return it to the crockpot, stirring to coat in the sauce. Let sit for 10-15 minutes on WARM.
Serving
  1. Serve on buns, over rice, or as a topping for nachos or baked potatoes.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Marinating the chicken ahead of time can enhance the flavor.
