What do you top pulled chicken sandwiches with?

Brown Sugar BBQ Chicken

Turned out great! I didn’t have Italian dressing so I left that out but it was still delicious.

I omitted the bourbon and dressing; it was still a hit! I used what I had: thighs (dark meat is better anyway), turbinado sugar, Himalayan pink salt, and gluten free bread. I served with pickles and butter lettuce besides coleslaw. When the bread ran out, I used tortillas to make tacos. 

Bonus: I used a chicken shredding hack! If you have a stand mixer, use that while the chicken is still warm. Beats forks.

DELICIOUS!  Super easy to make and had all the ingredients already!

5 star, home run right out of the park!  But heavy on the garlic powder for me, so I cut to 1 tsp., and I'll go a little scant on the bourbon next time.  I was worried about cooking breasts that long on high, but they fell apart & got "burnt/baked/crunchy" ends like if you had smoked it outside.

Bourbon adds a smoky depth to this easy slow-cooker chicken.

This Crockpot BBQ Chicken is quick, easy and flavorful way to make pulled chicken. Perfect for any party, potluck, or picnic! Succulent chicken covered in an addictive BBQ sauce, then shredded. Great for burgers, burritos tacos, on rice and more.

It&#039;s made with tender flavorful chicken thighs, a simple spice rub, and robust store-bought sauces to save time. This chicken makes for the ultimate BBQ chicken sandwiches and it&#039;s incredibly easy!

Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken

lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs

tsp chili powder

tsp smoked paprika

cayenne pepper ((optional))

tsp black pepper

onion

BBQ sauce ((recommend Bullseye original), divided)

Tbsp steak sauce ((recommend A1))

hamburger buns

Place chicken in 5 - 7 quart slow cooker (I use this one).

In a small mixing bowl whisk together chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Pour spice mixture over chicken and add grated onion. Toss well to evenly coat chicken with spices.

Evenly pour 3/4 cup BBQ sauce over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low heat 4 - 6 hours until chicken shreds easily and registers 165 degrees in center.

Transfer chicken to a cutting board, reserve liquid from the slow cooker. Skim fat from the liquid and discard the fat.

Shred chicken with two forks (I do it a little larger than I want it to end up because as you toss again in the next step it shreds up a bit on it&#039;s own).

Return chicken to slow cooker. Heat remaining 3/4 cup BBQ sauce with 2 Tbsp steak sauce in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave until warm (about 1 - 2 minutes).

Pour 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid and the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken then toss to evenly coat. If you feel it needs a little more moisture you can add another splash of the reserved liquid (or more BBQ sauce), also season to taste with a little more salt if needed.

Serve the pulled bbq chicken in hamburger buns (I also like to add coleslaw, with a little blue cheese mixed in sometimes too).

Using a crockpot is the easiest way to make BBQ chicken that comes out super flavorful and juicy!

Try my Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken for the most delicious, tender, flavorful, easy slow cooker BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches you'll ever eat!

The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken (Easy Pulled Chicken)

barbecue sauce (We love sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ)

Italian dressing (I use this fat-free one)

light brown sugar (can reduce to 1/8 cup or omit if you prefer it less sweet)

salt and black pepper,

First liberally spray the inside of a large crockpot or slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray, or for less mess, use one of these awesome disposable liners.

Next, season your trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, and place in the bottom of your crockpot.

In a medium size mixing bowl, add barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, light brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until combined.

Pour mixture evenly over chicken breasts, place the lid on the crockpot, and cook on high for 2.5-3 hours or low for 5-6 hours.

Use this meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165 degrees internal temperature.

Once fully cooked, you can either serve whole or use two forks to shred chicken. I like to shred it right in the crockpot to soak up all the extra chicken marinade and BBQ sauce.

Serve on buns for delicious BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches or serve on pizza, salad, tacos, nachos, over rice, or by itself. Enjoy!

I never would have thought of the Worcestershire sauce and the Italian dressing. They made it so good!

Added some spicy BBQ to make it sweet and spicy!!  Delicious 👍

Did this in the instapot on high for the slow cook option for 2.5 hours and cooked to perfection! Tasted like restaurant bbq chicken

This is the best BBQ Pulled Chicken we have ever had.  Better than any restaurant or other recipes I have tried.
Thank you so much for the recipe!

This was way better than pulled chicken recipes I’ve had before! I never would have thought of Italian dressing. I tripled the recipe for a party. It made enough sauce to set some aside, which is good because I hate thin, watery sauce. When chicken was done I removed it, ditched the juices, put chicken back in with the thick, yummy sauce I had set aside. (Just because I’m picky!) But the recipe itself I followed exactly, though I didn’t triple the Worchestershire sauce bc it smelled pretty strong. Make this!

I gave this recipe to my daughter to make for our family dinner night. We liked it so much I’m making it again today. Thinking of leaving the chicken whole this time. This is an excellent BBQ chicken. I will recommend to all my friends.! Thank you for sharing ❤️

I followed the same recipe instructions and change the sauce and it turned out so delicious!!!

Loved this recipe! Even my 1year old loved it , I used breast and thighs because that’s what I had in my fridge and this will be a staple !

The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken (Easy BBQ Chicken Sandwiches)

A juicy, delicious alternative to pulled pork, this crockpot BBQ chicken is packed full of sweet, tangy barbecue flavor and is so simple to make.

The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken Recipe

chicken breast (5-6 medium breasts)

Tbsp smoked paprika

tsp sea salt

In a small bowl, mix together the seasonings until they&#039;re fully combined.

On a plate, spread out the chicken breasts then season well. Use your hands to make sure both sides are completely covered.

In the crockpot, place the seasoned chicken breasts, then cover with the BBQ sauce, sugar and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir so that the chicken is completely covered with the sauce.

Cook the chicken on HIGH for 3 hours. Check the breasts at the 2 ½ hour mark – the internal temperature should be 165°F/75°C when the crockpot BBQ chicken is perfectly cooked. If you don&#39;t have a thermometer, check that the juices run clear and the chicken is easy to shred with a fork.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred the breasts into smaller pieces - you can do this in a separate dish. At the end, pour all the BBQ sauce over the chicken, mix well, and serve.

Crockpot BBQ Chicken take just minutes to get into the slow cooker. Hours later you have flavorful, fork tender chicken perfect for sandwiches, salads or even quesadillas!&nbsp;

chicken thigh fillets

ketchup

worcestershire sauce

cumin

ground pepper

Place the 2 pounds chicken thigh fillets and sliced 1/2 sweet onion in the slow cooker. Toss with the 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce. 

In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, 2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon Kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground pepper and 2 teaspoons garlic powder. 

Pour the sauce over the chicken and onions, tossing to coat.

Set the slow cooker for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken to a cutting board or plate. Using two forks, shred the chicken.

Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking liquid, discarding the rest. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss with the reserved liquid until ready to serve. This will keep it moist.

Serve the chicken with your favorite BBQ Sauce.

If you&#39;ve tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.

So perfect! A lot of people put away the slow cooker when the weather starts warming up, but BBQ is a perfect summer meal you can make without turning on the oven.

This looks like a great recipe! I can't wait to try this lovely version of Crockpot BBQ, looks easy and delish!

This looks delicious! And so, SO simple! I'm definitely with you on the chicken thighs, so much more flavour and the perfect texture for pulling!

I've been loving crockpot recipes lately! and I have so many friends that recently had babies, this is perfect to bring to them!

This easy crockpot bbq chicken needs 2 ingredients for tender, shredded chicken breast, a healthy pulled chicken for sandwiches or rice bowls!

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken (Pulled)

½ cups BBQ sauce of choice, divided

Add the chicken and ¾ cup barbecue sauce to a 6-quart slow cooker, stirring to combine.

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 5-6, or until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork.

Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Chop into pieces or shred with two forks. Drain about half of the remaining liquid from the slow cooker and discard or save for another use.

Add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker along with the remaining ¾ cup barbecue sauce, stirring to combine.

Serve the pulled chicken piled into toasted buns and additional sauce if desired.

Can you use frozen chicken breasts? How would I then alter the recipe?

This recipe is so easy and delicious! I have it on my weekly rotation and I love that it makes enough for leftovers. Thank you! 

Love this recioe!I have also used it to make sweet and sour chicken, my son does not like pineapples, so whenever I want sweet and sour chicken, I use this recipe. Thank you!!

Another solid recipe! We loved it, and it made delicious leftovers. For my family, a big batch of protein like this is the perfect base for everyone to make their own versions. I put mine over salad, and my 11yo ate his on Hawaiian rolls with chips on the side. We also like different amounts of sauce in our house, so I drained and shredded the chicken, set some aside for my husband and 6yo, and then added the rest of the sauce for me and my older son who like it saucier.

Oh my goodness … I made this today and my normally fussy 6 yo absolutely LOVED it. I did it in tacos with some rice, cheese and salad (mainly ignored by said 6 yo) but wow what a win! He’s already asking for it again tomorrow. Such a simple yet tasty recipe that will definitely be in my meal plans frequently. Thanks Robyn

Holy Moly! I just found my new go-to easy chicken dinner recipe! Thank You Robyn!! Dinner doesn’t get any easier than this right here!!  It shredded up so easily, and with a few turns of a spoon, with a little more sauce, boom! Dinner done. It looked and smelled so good, I literally just ate a small bowl full, without any of the extras. And there’s plenty for lunch tomorrow (&amp; more!), so I will certainly be trying it with the slaw and some other side touches then. But hands down. 2 ingredient dinner, already done by the time I get home? Yes, please! Thank You Robyn, for making a hard day so much easier and healthier!! 

Made this for dinner this week and it’s been delicious! The whole family loved it and we’ve been eating leftovers for the past few days.
