Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot BBQ Chicken
  1. Start by preparing your crockpot for cooking. Spray the inside with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a disposable liner for easy clean-up.
  2. Place boneless skinless chicken breasts in the prepared crockpot, ensuring they are arranged evenly. Generously season them with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, light brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Pour the sauce evenly over the seasoned chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on high for 150 to 180 minutes or on low for 300 to 360 minutes. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat right inside the crockpot, gently mixing with the sauce.
  6. Spoon the shredded chicken onto buns for delicious sandwiches, or enjoy it over rice, tacos, or salad.
