Easy BBQ shredded chicken in a slow-cooker

This is a super-easy weekday meal that you can start before you head off to work, using frozen chicken and prepared BBQ sauce, or on a busy weekend when you don't have time too cook. It takes about 5 minutes to toss all of the ingredients into the pot and when you come home (don't forget to pick up some fresh buns) your house smells wonderful and you have a delicious meal waiting for you (and your hungry kids).

  • Chicken - 2-3 lbs., boneless - breasts and/or thighs, fresh or frozen
  • BBQ Sauce - 2 cups, make your own or prepared (save 1/2 cup for dipping if desired.)
  • Onion - 1, diced or sliced (optional)
  1. Spray the slow cooker with oil.
  2. Add chicken, onions if using, and BBQ sauce and mix together.
  3. Cover and heat on low: 6-8 hours for fresh chicken; 7-9 hrs for frozen.
  4. When fully cooked, remove meat from pot and pull apart with 2 forks. Put back in the pot and re-heat as needed.
  5. Pile onto buns and serve.

The taste of the BBQ sauce permeates the meat but is somewhat diluted with slow-cooking, so I recommend serving some BBQ sauce on the side with your sandwiches.

Times are approximate, depending on your slow-cooker.

Make it a meal with:

  • Creamy Red Cabbage Coleslaw
  • Spanish Rice
  • Coconut Flan

  • Fajitas in a Crock-Pot
  • BBQ Ribs in a Crock-Pot
