1-Getting started: Getting started with this bbq pulled chicken is as simple as mixing a few things in your slow cooker. First, in a 5-6 quart slow cooker, stir together the BBQ sauce, grated onion with juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until everything blends smoothly. This step builds the flavorful base that makes the chicken so tasty.

2-Add chicken and cook: Next, add the 3 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the slow cooker and make sure they’re fully coated in the sauce mixture. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on the HIGH setting for 2 to 3 hours, or on the LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours, depending on your schedule. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F and shreds easily with forks.

3-Shred and mix: Once done, carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred it using two forks. Then, return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it well to coat every piece in the sauce. This final mix helps soak up all the flavors. Remember, cooking times can vary based on the thickness of the chicken and your slow cooker’s size, so check a bit early.
