Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

One of my favorite things to make right now is slow cooker BBQ pulled chicken. It's so easy and so flavorful. 


The exact ingredients I use, in case you're interested.


Serves 4, Total Time 4.5 hours

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 lb chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce of choice (I use Jack Daniel's)
  • 1/8 cup Zesty Italian dressing
  • 1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
Recipe:
  1. Combine all sauce ingredients (BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar) in a medium size bowl. Mix well.
  2. Rinse, dry, and season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place chicken in crockpot and put BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken. Mix the chicken in the BBQ sauce so all sides of the chicken are covered.
  4. Cover your crockpot, turn it on, and set it on HIGH for 4 hours.
  5. With around 30 minutes left, take two forks and pull the chicken apart to create "pulled chicken". Mix, cover for 30 minutes, and it's finished!

Meal Ideas:
  • BBQ chicken tacos: BBQ chicken is the meat with all of the classic tacos fixings (red onion, cilantro, cheese, tomatoes, etc.) in a tortilla.
  • BBQ chicken grilled cheese: classic grilled cheese sandwich with a layer of BBQ chicken.
  • BBQ chicken sandwich: BBQ chicken on a fluffy bun, with a layer of coleslaw in the middle.
  • BBQ chicken "taco bowl": layer of rice on the bottom, BBQ chicken for the meat, and all taco fixings (red onion, cilantro, cheese, tomatoes, etc.)
