Quick Easy Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Recipe Notes
- Now you can whip this chicken up in numerous ways depending on what kind of chicken you decide to start with… You will need to choose one of the following forms of chicken for these recipes:
- 2.5 cups of our Crock Pot Shredded Chicken, Crock Pot Butter Chicken or Electric Pressure Cooker Shredded Chicken
- A grocery store rotisserie chicken or our Crock Pot Whole Chicken . (You will need to remove skin and bones and shred chicken)
- 20 oz Bag Frozen Cooked Shredded or Pulled Chicken from grocery store
- You can cook this up with raw chicken breasts (2-3) to begin with, you will just need to cook your meat longer and shred once the meat is tender. However, I like to start with cooked chicken so the sauce caramelizes over all the shreds of meat, instead of just on the outside of the uncooked meat.
- I used a small slow cooker to cook this up. If you are using a slow cooker larger than 4 qt you will want to double the recipe or reduce your cooking time as you see fit with your crock pot. Curious about our slow cookers? Here is a list of the ones we use.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
