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,
So I’m going to make this recipe and was wondering if I needed to feed a house of 8 people, can I just double the ingredients and it still turn out right??
I made this last night and doubled the recipe. It was delicious! In the future I would always double it and freeze half. Easy and delicious recipe.
Hi Karen…just got a crockpot for the holidays…going to attempt this but need to make it for about twice as many people as instructed…
now when you say you doubled it…you mean for a 4 lb’s of chicken breasts…you doubled on all the ingredients?
Sorry, i’m a beginner at this. : )
Mike, I would double everything 🙂 Hope that helps.
I finally got to make it…and it came out slammin!!!!!…thank u so much for th recipe…have to see what to do next
Sweeeet! So glad you loved it Mike 🙂
Karen and Mike,
did you increase the cooking time as well? Thanks so much
This is cooking in the crock pot as we speak and it smells delicious!!!! However I forgot to stir in the Worcester sauce in until after I poured the BBQ mixture on the chicken and began slow cooking it. So i added it over the chicken the shredded e chicken and mixed it up. Hope it turns out ok!!!
