 Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken


Slow cooker BBQ chicken is a flavorful and easy dish to prepare, perfect for busy days or gatherings. Here's a simple recipe to make delicious slow cooker BBQ chicken:


Ingredients:

  • 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or hot sauce for heat

Instructions:

  1. Season the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, chicken broth or water, honey (if using), Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Mix well to combine.

  3. Layer in the Slow Cooker:

    • Pour a small amount of the BBQ sauce mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker to coat it.
    • Place the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer in the slow cooker.

  4. Pour Over the Sauce:

    • Pour the remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.

  5. Cook on Low:

    • Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces.

  6. Shred the Chicken:

    • Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.

  7. Thicken the Sauce (Optional):

    • If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by mixing 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch with equal parts cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

  8. Serve:

    • Serve the shredded BBQ chicken hot, either on its own or as a sandwich filling, over rice, or with your favorite side dishes.

Tips:

  • BBQ Sauce Variation: Experiment with different types of BBQ sauce to find your favorite flavor profile, whether sweet, smoky, tangy, or spicy.
  • Chicken Cut: You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe, depending on your preference. Thighs tend to be more forgiving and remain juicier during longer cooking times.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the slow cooker BBQ chicken with coleslaw, cornbread, baked beans, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.

Enjoy your tender and flavorful slow cooker BBQ chicken!
