Crock-Pot Chicken Barbecue

Man this was great!
The shredded chicken is fall-apart tender and the sweet tangy flavor of the sauce bursted in the mouth.
YUM!

Not to mention this is arguably one of the easiest BBQ chicken I’ve ever made.
You know those times when you don’t have time to stand over the stove and want to cook something delicious with the minimum of fuss? this Crock-Pot Chicken Barbecue is going to save your life.
Throw everything in the slow cooker without any special prep and let it work its magic.

It’s sweet, salty, savory, and so satisfying. I invited friends over for crockpot bbq chicken on Sunday night and everyone loved it.
I’m pretty sure everyone went for seconds. Some even thirds.
In fact, I was hoping for leftovers but there were none. Zero. Null. Nada.
It’s that good!

It's such a quick and easy recipe.
And if you’re using (just like me) homemade ketchup and homemade barbecue sauce, this can be a pretty healthy and low calorie dish.
But I do understand that not everybody is into making your own condiment. If that's the case make sure to use some organic sauces, such as Wellbee’s.

It’s great on rolls with slaw and corn on the cob on the side.
And sure, nothing beats BBQ chicken straight off the grill. But, the flavors of this Crock-Pot Chicken Barbecue can’t be beat and you don’t have to spend a second sweating over a hot grill.

This is a great way to make meat for company or your family when you don’t have time to stand over the stove. You can throw everything in your slow cooker before church and it’s ready when you come home. Such a treat!
