Ingredients
- 3 lbs (1.36 kg) chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 medium onion, grated (with juice)
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a slow cooker with a capacity of 5-6 quarts.
- Place the chicken breasts in the cooker and ensure they are fully covered with the sauce mixture.
- Put the lid on and set the cooker to high heat for 2 to 3 hours, or choose low heat for 6 to 7 hours. Adjust the timing if using smaller chicken pieces, making a smaller portion, or if your slow cooker tends to cook quickly. The chicken is considered ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F and can be easily shredded.
- Take out the chicken and transfer it to a cutting board, then use two forks to pull apart the meat.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it thoroughly with the flavorful sauce.
Notes
- Marinate chicken in BBQ sauce for enhanced flavor before cooking.
- Add hot sauce or chili powder for a spicier taste.
- Use a basting brush to evenly distribute sauce for better flavor absorption.
