A simple and flavorful slow-cooked BBQ chicken recipe perfect for sandwiches or as a main dish.
Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder in the slow cooker.
Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce.
Turn the chicken over in the sauce to coat both sides evenly.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Shred the chicken using two forks and mix it back into the sauce in the slow cooker.
Shredding the chicken allows it to absorb more of the flavorful sauce.
Keep the slow cooker on the warm setting until ready to serve.
Stir occasionally to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Serve the BBQ chicken on buns or alongside your favorite sides. Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
