Equipment
- 1 Slow Cooker Pot
Ingredients
- 2-3 Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless
Rub
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
BBQ Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or minced
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the rub ingredients (brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper).
- Rub spice mix onto both sides of the chicken breasts. Set aside.
- Stir BBQ sauce ingredients together in the slow cooker. Layer the seasoned chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
- Slow cook chicken for 4 hours on high, or 6 hours on low.
- When finished cooking, remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred each breast. Place chicken back in the crock pot, stir with the BBQ sauce, and keep cooking for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for up to three months.
- My favorite way to serve the pulled chicken is on buns or rolls, topped with additional BBQ sauce, and coleslaw.
