Main Ingredients
  • 3 breasts chicken
  • 1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory & Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce 18 oz
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon chipotle chili powder see note
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Place chicken breasts in the Crock-Pot. Turn heat to low.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce, light brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, and ground white pepper. Use a whisk to stir and combine.
  3. Pour barbecue sauce mixture into the Crock-Pot with the chicken breasts. Use a spoon to stir and coat all chicken with barbecue sauce mixture.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. When chicken is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork it is ready to be shredded.
  6. Using two forks, shred chicken while still in the Crock-Pot. Mix chicken and barbecue sauce together until well coated.
  7. Serve on buttered and toasted hamburger buns.

Notes

Chipotle chili powder adds a smoky heat. Adjust to your preference for a milder or spicier dish.
