Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 bottle (18 ounces) Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker: Arrange the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
  3. Cook the chicken: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender.

  5. Serve: Serve the warm shredded chicken on buns, over rice, or alongside roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • This recipe can also be made with chicken thighs for added juiciness.
  • For a smoky flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce.
  • Leftover shredded chicken is versatile and can be used in sandwiches, quesadillas, or as a pizza topping.
