How To Make Crockpot BBQ Chicken
Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your crock pot.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
Pour in the barbecue sauce. You can use store bough barbecue sauce or make your own. I used Sweet Baby Rays Hickory and Brown Sugar BBQ sauce.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8.
Once the crockpot has finished, shred the chicken using two forks and return to the crockpot.
Stir everything to combine. Make sure the chicken is covered in the barbecue sauce.
Serve on buns with coleslaw, pickles, or any other toppings you like.
Important Recipe Notes
Cook the chicken on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
I served these as a barbecue chicken slider with coleslaw, but you can serve it in any way you'd like. Turn it into barbecue chicken tacos or any other meal you like!
