Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Substitution: Opt for boneless chicken thighs for a richer flavor.

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Essential for flavor balance.
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar Substitution: Lemon juice works similarly.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can be swapped with vegetable oil if you prefer.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Substitution: Minced fresh garlic offers an even bolder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  2. Mix together Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil in a medium bowl.
  3. Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.
  5. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Remove the lid and shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks.
  7. Scoop the Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken onto plates and serve it hot.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken in barbecue sauce for enhanced flavor. Adjust sauce consistency with chicken broth if needed. Thighs can be used for a juicier option.
