Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 breasts
1 bottle BBQ sauce 19 oz, I use Rib Rack Original
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 yellow onion finely chopped

Equipment

6-quart slow cooker

Method

Whisk BBQ sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, paprika and garlic powder in a large bowl.
Stir in the onion.
Add the chicken and toss to coat.
Pour everything into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high 4 hours or low 6 hours, until it shreds easily.
Shred the chicken in the slow cooker with two forks.
Stir into the sauce and let it rest 10 minutes.

Notes

Check the chicken at the low end of the time. Breasts dry out if overcooked.
If the sauce is thin after shredding, cook uncovered on high for 20 to 30 minutes.
Keeps 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. Store it with some of the sauce.
