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.

Tried this last night and it’s pretty great. I’m a single guy and eating out every night isn’t an option due to the cost. BBQ chicken sandwiches will be dinner for the next few nights!
Thank you for the recipe. Absolutely delicious and so easy! Everybody loves it.
I love this recipe, it’s so quick and easy.
Okay.. I am an avid review reading, but I’m trying to get better at posting them. However, I felt obligated to this post! My family (2 toddler boys and husband) are super pickey, so dinner time in my house is a nightmare!! I was looking for a barbecue crockpot meal and came across this one. The reviews were awesome and it was easy, so I decided to give it a try. It is literally AMAZING!! And it went over very well with the guys! 🙂 The only thing I did differently was seasoned my chicken a little more and let it marinate overnight. I also added a little sweet & spicy BBQ sauce (just for a little kick). We made ours into sliders, using the little Hawaiian rolls with coleslaw on top. I actually have this in thr crockpot right now, because my husband requested that I make it for the 4th of July gathering!! LOL, Thank you for a quick, delicious meal recipe!
So happy you loved it Sharon, and thanks for posting 🙂
Ive made this a few times now and love it everytime. I use whatever BBQ sauce I have in the fridge and it always turns out great. I also add just a pinch of red pepper flakes to give it a lil heat.
