Equipment
- slow cooker/crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 - 2 1/2 pounds boneless chicken can use boneless thighs
- 1 1/2 cups store bought barbecue sauce Sweet Baby Ray's Spicy-Sweet used
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- salt and pepper
- rolls or Texas Toast
- cole slaw (optional)
Instructions
- Add the barbecue sauce, diced onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and liquid smoke to the slow cooker then stir to combine.
- Place the raw chicken on top of the sauce then turn to coat it and season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook 3 to 3 1/2 hours on high or 5 to 5 1/2 hours on low. Check it at the earliest time so you don’t overcook the chicken (it's done when you can easily pull it apart with a fork).
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker onto a cutting board or plate then turn the heat up to high in the slow cooker and let it simmer to reduce further (about 5 minutes).
- Shred the chicken then return it to the slow cooker and toss it in the sauce coating well. Serve on rolls or Texas Toast with cole slaw and pickles.
