Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 1/2 cups Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce (or your preferred BBQ sauce)

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using).

  • Pour the sauce over the chicken, coating it well.

  • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shredded.

  • Shred chicken with two forks and stir it into the sauce.

  • Let it cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes for maximum flavor.

  • Serve on buns, over rice, or with a side of coleslaw.

  • For a spicy twist, add hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
