This Crockpot BBQ Chicken recipe offers a simple and flavorful way to prepare tender, juicy chicken breasts slow-cooked in a tangy barbecue sauce. Perfect for easy weeknight dinners or meal prep, the chicken can be served as is or shredded for delicious sandwiches, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

BBQ Sauce Mixture

  • 1½ cups barbecue sauce (Korean BBQ sauce also works)
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot, ensuring they are evenly spread out for even cooking.
  2. Make the BBQ sauce mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add sauce over chicken: Pour the prepared BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, coating them well.
  4. Cook the chicken: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the chicken breasts whole or shred them with forks for sandwiches or other dishes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use Korean BBQ sauce as an alternative to traditional BBQ sauce.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the crockpot model; check chicken for doneness.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Shredded chicken is great for sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
