Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 4 hours hrs
Total Time 4 hours hrs 5 minutes mins
- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ
- 1/2 medium onion grated (with juice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a 5-6 qt slow cooker. Add the chicken and turn it to coat evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or on low for 6 to 7 hours. If using smaller chicken pieces, making a smaller batch, or if your slow cooker tends to run hot, check the chicken earlier. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F and is easily shreddable. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred each breast using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it in the delicious sauce.
