Add this BBQ Pulled Chicken in a Slow Cooker to your weekly dinner rotation since it’s such an easy and tasty dish.
Simple is often the best, and I find that this holds true for most slow cooker dishes. The flavors and textures build over time when using a few basic ingredients and cooking long and slow.
This recipe is based on my simple and wonderful Pulled Pork on the BBQ – I figured if the flavors work well with pork, they should work well with chicken, and they do! I’m very happy with this one since it just calls for four ingredients.
Cooking chicken in the slow cooker may be challenging since you don’t want the chicken to dry out. After all, we usually hope for tender meat when using a slow cooker. You can’t go wrong when cooking with this sweet, uncomplicated sauce.
The ingredients are as follows – there are only four of them, but you may use only the first two if you’re in a hurry!
Ingredients
-
Thighs of chicken
-
BBQ Sauce
-
Onion
-
Garlic
See how simple and fast that is. I use a basic type of BBQ sauce, but you may use anything you want; a good sweet BBQ sauce would add a great touch. Use a smoky or spicy BBQ sauce instead if you like.
The optimum cooking time for this one is about 6 hours on LOW, or when the chicken is ready to shred and fall apart. If you’re short on time, you may do it on high for 3-4 hours.
After it’s cooked, I just pull the flesh apart with two forks, thus the name Pulled Chicken! Pulled pork is a term used to describe meat that has been basted and cooked slowly in a slow cooker or a smoker. The term “shredded chicken” refers to the meat’s consistency.
I chose chicken thighs since I believe them to be a more flavorful and tender cut of chicken, but you could also use chicken breasts as long as they are cooked till soft and not overdone.

This dish is extremely simple to make, taking less than five minutes to complete. The most time-consuming step is carefully chopping the onions and garlic – or using store-bought minced garlic, as I do!
Then it’s only a question of pouring the BBQ sauce over the chicken, onion, and garlic, stirring to combine, and setting the slow cooker to work. So simple!
You can serve this in a variety of ways; it’s so soft and juicy that it goes well with rice, it’s delicious on bread rolls with coleslaw, or you can use it to make easy enchiladas, like I did.
To prepare these, I simply took tortillas and stuffed them with a piece of the chicken, then rolled them up and placed them in a baking sheet. Then I added additional BBQ sauce and plenty of cheese, and baked it in a moderate oven until the cheese was nice and brown.
Serve with a salad! So delectable.
