SLOW COOKER CHICKEN BARBECUE
This super easy crock pot barbecue is a recipe you will make over and over!
Why You Will Love This Easy Chicken Barbecue
You just throw the chicken in the crock pot, add a few ingredients and forget it. Come home to a delicious meal! We love to grab some buns and a bag of chips, and you have a simple meal the whole family will love. You can easily double or triple this recipe for a larger group. It reheats really well and is great for a gathering. Take this to any party and you will come home with an empty dish!
When Do You Shred The Chicken?
We also cook the breast, and once it is done, we shred the chicken with two forks and then place it back in the sauce to keep it moist. We just serve this out of the crock pot, which is why it’s perfect for any gathering. Just put your crock pot on warm and set the buns right next to it!
What Toppings Do You Love?
We love adding pickles to sandwiches or coleslaw! Both go great, and even if you don’t want the coleslaw on the sandwich, it’s great on the side. Add these maple baked beans to the meal for a real treat! Also, if you don’t want to make this as a sandwich, it’s delicious over a baked potato.

I made the BBQ chicken for my family in Tenn. It was delicious. I used sliders for my my buns. I made cole slaw and cheesy potatoes.Thank you both for all your wonderful recipes. Most of my recipes saved from Pinterest are yours.
You’re so welcome Yvonne! We are so glad you are enjoying the recipes. We love this one too!
Southern Lady this is amazing! Threw it in crockpot early morning and after coming home from watching our grandson’s baseball game we had the most perfect bbq chicken sandwiches! Did not make any changes, topped it with coleslaw, thank you for this recipe!
You’re very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
Not to be picky, but you left out the worcestershire sauce in the instructions. Great recipe! My family loved it. So glad I found you.
Oh my goodness, this is delicious. I’m making dinner for a party of ten so I wanted to do a test run first. This is the perfect recipe. It’s so moist and perfectly flavored. Not too much
I followed the recipe exact and we all loved it! Super easy and absolutely delicious. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!
Can this recipe be doubled in the slow cooker?
Yes, as long as your slow cooker is big enough it shouldn’t be an issue.
Do you shred the chicken before you cook in the slow cooker or after you take it out? Thank you!
You shred the chicken once it has cooked. 🙂
This recipe would have been perfect without the added brown sugar 🙁 it’s too sweet but I will make it again minus the sugar and I’m sure it will turn out perfect!
