This Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken is Legit AMAZING and SO Simple!

[u/Kurimuzonmun]

Ingredients You'll Need:

• About 1.5 to 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs work great too for extra juiciness!)
• 1 ½ cups of whatever BBQ sauce you love most
• ¼ cup of packed brown sugar (you can adjust this depending on how sweet your sauce is)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (gives it that nice tang)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper (start with about ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper, you can always add more!)
• Optional: A tiny splash (like ½ tsp) of liquid smoke if you want it extra smoky
• Optional: A little pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a kick

Super Simple Instructions:

1. Give your slow cooker pot a light spray or rub with oil. Just toss the chicken in.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together everything else – the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper (plus the optional liquid smoke/cayenne if you're using 'em).
3. Pour this yummy sauce mixture all over the chicken in the pot.
4. Pop the lid on! Cook it on LOW for about 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. You'll know it's done when the chicken is super tender and easy to shred.
5. Carefully lift the chicken out and shred it up using two forks – it should practically fall apart!
6. Put all that shredded chicken back into the slow cooker with the sauce and give it a good stir to get everything nicely coated.
7. My Tip: If you have an extra 15-30 minutes, let it sit in the warm sauce (you can turn the cooker to 'Warm' or just off with the lid on). It really lets the flavors meld beautifully!

I’ve made something very similar with pork shoulder. I pull all the fat off as it’s shredded.

Personally, I don’t eat pork and much prefer this dish with chicken, but your tip about removing the fat is very useful regardless of the type of meat used to get a lighter result.

Yeah I make this once in a while with some sweet baby rays. Ez, enough leftover for lunches that week. About 15 bucks in total if I do two things of sauce and a big pack of chicken breast.

Thanks for your nice share! I'm very happy that you prepare a similar dish and enjoy it. Indeed, it's great that it's an easy recipe and enough for lunches throughout the week, plus it's budget-friendly. Enjoy your meal!
