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.

Hello…i just wanted to askif it was ok thati leave the chicken marinating overnight?
Mike I have never done that, but maybe one of my readers have? Anyone try this before?
Just made this and it was great! We always prefer the meat to be plenty coated with sauce, so instead of using 2lbs of chicken I used 7 chicken breast tenderloins (just two people eating anyhow) and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. The sauce to meat ratio turned out perfect for us, tasted awesome, and altogether it yielded 5 servings on regular hamburger buns. Thanks a bunch, def a keeper!
This is one of my family’s favorite recipes. I love using my crockpot and that this is so easy to make. Turns out delicious every time. It’s a healthy, homemade meal, that even my 4 and 2 year old will eat!
This recipe is a lifesaver for me. I am a full time student who also works a full time job. I have very little time to cook and my boyfriend is a very very picky eater, we ate this all through finals week. It is the easiest thing you’ll ever make and its delicious! I use balsamic Italian dressing rather than zesty just because I like it better. Ten out of ten would recommend.
I’m tripling this recipe for a pot luck. How do I adjust cooking time?
How big of a crockpot are you using? You should haven’t to increase the cooking time by much. Maybe 30mins-60 mins? Just make sure to check on it after the usually cooking time and check for doneness.
