Recipe View 5 mins Shred Chicken and Serve (5 minutes): Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce to ensure it's fully coated. Serve hot on buns, over rice, or as part of a salad.

For a smokier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce mixture.
If you prefer a sweeter barbeque sauce, use a sauce with honey or molasses as a base.
To thicken the sauce after cooking, remove the chicken, then whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir into the sauce in the slow cooker, and cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened.
Leftover barbeque chicken is excellent in sandwiches, quesadillas, or as a topping for baked potatoes.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy, and the chicken comes out perfect every time.

  • Alverta Koelpin

    I was worried about the chicken drying out, but it was so moist and tender. Will definitely make again!

  • Margaret Thompson

    Next time, I'll try adding some chopped onions and bell peppers to the slow cooker for added veggies and flavor.

  • Francisca Cormier

    I added a bit of Worcestershire sauce to the barbeque sauce for extra depth of flavor. Delicious!
