The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken
This is going to be the easiest Crockpot BBQ chicken you have ever made. I’m not joking… this really is going to be the easiest BBQ chicken you have ever made. Since I first tested this recipe, it has made it’s way into our meal rotation almost weekly. It is just that good!
Now, don’t get me wrong…nothing beats BBQ chicken straight off the grill. BUT, the flavors of this recipe can’t be beat and you don’t have to sweat over a hot grill.
Give it a try next week and I bet you will be converted to the crockpot-side 🙂
I used a 6qt slow cooker for this recipe. You could certainly use a smaller cooker if preferred, though I would advise against using a larger one. It’s important to note that some slow cookers require a minimum fill level to prevent damage, so be sure to consult your owner’s manual beforehand.
Our go-to is Sweet Baby Rays. But any of your favorite bbq sauces will work!
Some of our favorites are mac and cheese, potato salad, pasta salad, or cowboy caviar.
The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken
- Season chicken breast lightly (a small pinch per breast) with some sea salt and place in your crockpot.
- In a mixing bowl combine BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined.
- Pour over chicken, cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- Once time is up, you can serve the breast whole, or shred with 2 forks. If shredding, recover and let cook in sauce for about 10-15 more minutes to soak up all that delish flavor.
Serve on buns, over rice, in wraps, on a salad or eat a plateful as is! Our favorite way is on fresh rolls, topped with coleslaw.

I’ve been making this recipe off your site for years and we absolutely love it! So easy, I’ve memorized the recipe. Have to say that since it’s only 4 hours, it’s also a great work pot luck dish if you have a counter or breakroom you can make it on. Start it up when you get it in and it’s ready by lunch. It makes the perfect amount for a work potluck and you look like a rockstar, bringing something so yummy (and not the same ol chips and salsa!) If you buy your chicken breasts from the meat counter instead of prepackaged it usually really cheap too 🙂
god this is divine and so easy apart from the waiting! will def make again
I make this at least three times a month! Hardly ever any left over. I do have a question. The calorie amount, is that including the bun and coleslaw or just the prepared meat?
Just the prepared meat. So happy to hear you love it!
I cook for a family of 7 and it’s hard to find a new recipe that everyone likes. This was simple and it was a big hit! Thanks!
What type of Italian dressing anyone used? Wishbone?
Yep, I have used wishbone before 🙂
