Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1½ cups barbecue sauce (Korean BBQ sauce works well)
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot to ensure an even cooking surface for flavorful results.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until well combined for a tangy and slightly sweet BBQ flavor.
  3. Add Sauce to Chicken: Pour the prepared BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, coating them thoroughly.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Close the crockpot lid and cook the chicken on the low setting for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to deeply infuse and the chicken to become tender and juicy.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, enjoy the chicken as is, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, or shred the chicken for delicious BBQ sandwiches.

Notes

  • Using boneless skinless chicken breasts keeps this recipe lean and easy to shred after cooking.
  • Cooking on low heat for 3-4 hours is key to tender, juicy chicken without drying it out.
  • Feel free to swap in your favorite BBQ sauce variety, including Korean BBQ, for a different flavor profile.
  • Shredded BBQ chicken is excellent for sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
  • Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a pop of color and fresh herbal aroma.
