Ingredients

  • 2 ½ lb chicken breast
  • 2 ½ cup barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Rays Original)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the crockpot. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Add the chicken to the crockpot and spoon the sauce on top of the chicken until completely covered.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for about 3.5-4.5 hours.* When done, the meat should be very tender and easy to shred.
  • Shred the chicken and mix it back in the crockpot with the sauce. Serve on toasted buns, or however you prefer. Enjoy!

Notes

*This isn't a typo--the chicken should really only take 3.5-4.5 hours on low, depending on the thickness of the meat. Check on it right at 3.5 hours to see if it's done!
