  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Optional based on your flavor preference
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ recommended

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crockpot by spraying the interior with non-stick cooking spray or lining it for easy cleanup.
  2. Season the Chicken generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Place the seasoned chicken evenly across the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Mix together BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, light brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until well combined. Pour the sauce evenly over the seasoned chicken.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 2.5 to 3 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks, allowing it to absorb the extra sauce.
  6. Serve the Pulled BBQ Chicken warm on slider buns, in tacos, or on its own. Pair it with coleslaw if desired.
