Description

This Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken is an easy, flavorful dinner made with just a few ingredients. The chicken turns out juicy and tender, coated in a rich, sweet, and tangy BBQ sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or game day sliders.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 bottle (18 oz) Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper


Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.

  2. In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken.

  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  5. Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crockpot and stir to coat evenly with the sauce.

  6. Serve warm on buns, over rice, or with your favorite sides.


Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra tenderness.

  • Great for sandwiches, sliders, tacos, or even over baked potatoes.

  • Add a splash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you like a kick!
