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.

Thanks for the recipe! I used Kraft BBQ sauce as it was the least expensive. It got VERY watery, but after adding some corn starch & flour I thickened it up perfectly! I also used bone- in breasts and de-boned them myself to keep the cost down. This is such an easy recipe and it turned out delicious, and my house smells so good.
How long would you cook on low?
I cooked for 8 hours on low and it turned out great. Maybe it would be ready in under 8 hours, im not sure. I had it on while at work
This is exactly the shredded bbq chicken recipe I’ve been looking for to top off my loaded baked potatoes!
You can’t serve a loaded tater with just any ol bbq chicken on top. This looks like it’ll do just the trick.
Thanks for the recipe!
I made this last weekend. It was very easy and incredibly delicious. Thank you!
This is in my crockpot now and I am so excited! But I had a question. I wanted to cook it on low but did the whole first hour on high. Will that shorten my cooking time? And if so, how long do I cook it?
