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.

Did You Make This Recipe?
Make sure to share it with me below!
I will be trying this recipe and follow all the direction. The picture looks amazing. So, my question would be, bone in pork chops…how much longer would I have to cook it? Or would this work out?
This recipe is delicious and I want to experiment making a pulled pork roast using the same ingredients. I was wondering if you would suggest cutting the pork roast into smaller pieces, say about 2 inches in height and following the same directions as with the The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken?
Also I found that you can use chiclen thighs to obtain the same results. YUMMY!!!
Really need to double the recipe, should I use 2 crock pots or use one and cook longer. I on,y have one crock but guess could borrow but know need double this amount. And cooking it for tomorrow
How big is your large crockpot? 6 qt?
I have a 6 qt crockpot and was thinking about doubling too. A person at work and I bring samples to each other of dishes we have tried off the internet. I’m currently just making a single batch, but if it is as good as everyone says, I will make it weekly.
I actually tripled it and will know in a few hours how it turns out. Sams has boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.68 per pound, which is more than a $1 difference per pound, but you have to buy a 6 pound package. Plan to bring it to work for lunch.
Hi Bill,
I am planning to double the recipe as well and do 6 lbs,. I was curious, do I increase the cooking time? Or does it stay the same?
Made this tonight for my family. It was AMAZING! One of the best I’ve ever had. Sooo easy to make. Will be making this again very soon. 🙂
Awesome Sarah! I am so glad your family love it!
One word, AMAZING!
Making this recipe for dinner tonight. Used some Sweet Baby Ray’s, yum. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I had to sub steak sauce instead of worcestershire because the store didn’t have any though. It looks delish indded.
