Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot BBQ Chicken

  • Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  • Mix the Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well-blended.
  • Add the BBQ Sauce: Pour BBQ sauce into the seasoning mix, stir until smooth, then coat the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 6-7 hours. Aim for about 3.5 hours on high for tender chicken.
  • Shred the Chicken: After cooking, shred the chicken with two forks in the slow cooker, mixing it well with the sauce.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken on buns, in tacos, or over rice, pairing with sides like coleslaw.

Notes

For best taste, serve shortly after cooking. Consider making a double batch for easy meal prep and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for quick meals.
