Ingredients

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce for example, Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ
1/2 medium onion grated with juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

In a 5–6 quart slow cooker, mix all the sauce ingredients until smooth.
Add the chicken and turn it so it is coated evenly with the sauce. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2–3 hours or on low for 6–7 hours. Check the chicken earlier if you are using smaller pieces, making a smaller batch, or know your slow cooker cooks hot. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F and shreds easily.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred each piece with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to coat it completely in the sauce.
