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.

Do you think this would work with pork? Hubby isn’t a fan of chicken and I hate the idea of using ketchup and honey for pulled pork but can’t find a recipe he likes…
I think it would work great with pork Deanna!
I have tried it many times with pork and it works just as well. Delicious!
Hey Corey,
Thanks so much for the recipe. Im trying it today. Just one question. I saw some reviews mentioned adding a 1/2cup of the sauce in at the last hour….did i miss this somewhere in the instructions or was that just something they did? working all day so wont be able to add sauce before the last hour. Will that make a difference? Thanks for your help 🙂
just kidding. Just reread the review and saw she was originally short BBQ sauce for the recipe. Thanks again. Cant wait to try it tonight when I get home 🙂
No worries Pamela 🙂 I hope you loved it!
Have you ever made this using frozen chicken breast?
Thanks
Yes I have, just lengthen the cooking time about 1-2 hours (depending if you are cooking on low or high) 🙂
Awesome. Just what I needed to know. Can’t wait to try it tonight. Thank you.
I’m so excited to try this recipe! Long story short, we live by the park that has our city’s annual fireworks show so everyone comes over for a swim/bbq party before heading to the park for the festivities! I decided to break from tradition and make this! My question is can this recipe be doubled and still turn out flavorful and moist?
Yes, that should work out just fine! Sounds like a fun time 🙂
Hi could you tell me how many pieces of breast chicken does it take to make 2lbs?
When I went to the store, a 2 lb package had 3 chicken breast in it.
