"This Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken recipe is a lifesaver when I don't have the time to make my usual baked BBQ chicken thighs or Instant Pot BBQ chicken. The slow cooker does most of the work for me, but still yields juicy, tender chicken slathered in rich, tangy BBQ sauce in the end. Win-win! I'll typically serve the shredded chicken over a leafy green salad or grain bowl for filling weekday lunches."

Slow cooking chicken with barbecue sauce yields fall-apart tender, shredded chicken ideal for sandwiches, salads, sliders, and baked potatoes. The method requires minimal hands-on time: set the slow cooker and return hours later to fully cooked, flavorful chicken. Both boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs work; thighs may take slightly longer but remain juicy. A thick, tangy or sweet BBQ sauce clings to shredded chicken, while brown sugar adds balancing sweetness. The slow cooker replicates smoky, rich flavors without frequent monitoring, making the dish suitable for meal prep, potlucks, and easy weekday dinners.
