Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a crock pot in a single layer.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed.
Step 3
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crock pot.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Step 5
Check the chicken after the designated cooking time to ensure it is cooked through and tender. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks, or leave the breasts whole if you prefer.
Step 7
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir it into the sauce to coat evenly. Let it sit in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes on the warm setting to absorb more flavor.
Step 8
Serve the barbecue chicken hot on sandwich buns, over rice, or alongside your favorite side dishes.
