Simple Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

This simple recipe makes the best BBQ chicken for sliders or sandwiches

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 cup prepared BBQ sauce I used Trader Joe's Kansas City Style
  • ½ tsp hot sauce or to taste I used Tobasco
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ sliced onion

Instructions

  • Add chicken to slow cooker, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Add BBQ sauce and hot sauce. Feel free to add more to cover the chicken about half way. I added about 1/4 cup of water at this point.
  • Add the sliced onions to the top of the breasts. I stirred the pot and flipped the breasts a couple of times to ensure they were saturated with sauce as they cooked.
  • Cover and cook on low until chicken is done and tender. My Crockpot cooks quickly. In 4 hours on low the chicken was done, cooked through and easy to shred.
  • Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred each breast using two forks. Replace the chicken back in the Crockpot and stir to coat completely with sauce.
