Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken

I love dinners that are quick and easy and only require a couple minutes of prep time. This slow cooker barbecue chicken is always a staple in my house. It's super easy to make and always turns out incredibly juicy and tender without a lot of effort. This pulled barbecue chicken is perfect for picnics, barbecues or parties!

For this recipe you can use either homemade barbecue sauce or store bought (I've used Sweet Baby Ray's before and it's always delicious.) I always love making this with my Homemade Bourbon Barbecue Sauce.

I use boneless skinless chicken breasts in this recipe however boneless skinless chicken thighs work just as well!

How to make Barbecue Chicken in the Slow Cooker

Start by adding your chicken breast and barbecue sauce to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours or until fully cooked and the chicken shreds easily. I shred the chicken in the slow cooker and keep it warm until I am ready to serve.

How to make your own Barbecue Sauce

Making your own Barbecue Sauce at home is super simple. I love making this crockpot barbecue chicken recipe with my Bourbon Barbecue Sauce. To make this barbecue sauce start by heating oil in a medium saucepan. Next, add in onion and saute until tender and golden brown. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute. Next stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, bourbon (you can omit this if you prefer), brown sugar, salt, pepper and chili powder. Simmer for 15 minutes or longer to let the flavors develop! This barbecue sauce has the perfect amount of heat and sweetness with a bit of tang. I like to double the recipe and store leftovers in the fridge for up to a month or freeze for up to 6 months.

What to serve with this Barbecue Chicken
