This is another great crock pot recipe. I adapted this slow cooker barbecue chicken from a recipe I found on allrecipes.com . This is so easy and so tasty. I used Bull’s-Eye Hickory Smoke barbecue sauce, but any sauce you have will do.
This recipe begins with placing the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Then pour a mixture of barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce over the chicken. Next, cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
Once the chicken cooks, you shred it and then mix in some more barbecue sauce. You can also mix in some of the cooking liquid until it reaches the consistency you want. Serve this flavorful meat on buns. This is a family favorite meal and one we enjoy often. I also use this meat to make my barbecue chicken rice bowls too. They are another essential family meal.
Here is what you need to make the

[…] Then the fries get topped with some bbq chicken. You can get the pre-made stuff from the store or make your own. Then they get even better with layers of cheese, tomatoes, red onion and dill pickle! These babies […]
My daughter-in-law made this for my grandson’s second birthday. It was so amazing, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I’m so glad she gave me your site where she found the recipe. I am cooking it tonight. It was really delicious. She served it on Hawaiian Sweet rolls…Yum!

YUMMY! Thanks for the simple recipe! Others make you add this and that when all I wanted was to just add bbq sauce to chicken! Just wasn’t sure if it was raw/frozen or cooked chicken for the slow cooker. :o)
