This slow cooker chicken is so easy to make - everything just goes into the crock pot without any special prep. It's fall-apart tender, juicy and delicious. Serve as is or in buns with the best coconut coleslaw (find the recipe on natashaskitchen.com) and dill pickle chips.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken breasts ((boneless, skinless), about 5-6 count)
  • 1 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce (I used Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ)
  • 1/2 medium onion (grated (with juice))
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 5-6 qt slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or for 6 to 7 hours on low. Check on the chicken earlier if using smaller chicken pieces, if making a smaller batch, or if you know your slow cooker runs hot. Chicken is done when cooked through to an internal temperature of 165˚F and is easy to shred.

  3. 3

    Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred each breast using two forks. Place shredded chicken back in the crock pot and stir to coat with the yummy sauce.
