Author Ruth V.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 thawed boneless skinless chicken breasts 2+ pounds preferably
  • 1 18 ounce bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's Original)
  • ½ bottle beer optional
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced (to taste - we use 2)
  • ½ of a medium sized sweet onion we love onions so sometimes I use a whole one
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Instructions
  2. Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl (minus the chicken)
  3. Place your chicken breasts in your slow cooker - if they're super thick, I like to butterfly them.
  4. Pour your sauce and ingredients mixture over the chicken and stir it around to be sure chicken is coated.
  5. Cook on high for 3 hours, then low for an additional hour or two. Or, you can cook on low for 5-6 hours.
  6. Chicken will be easily shredded with a fork.
