Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper, then place in slow cooker. Pour BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar over top, turning chicken to coat.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until chicken shreds easily with a fork.
  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, shred with two forks, then return to sauce and toss to coat. Serve on toasted buns.

Notes

Check the chicken at the 5-hour mark if your slow cooker tends to run hot. The sauce will naturally thicken as it stands, but if you’d like it even thicker, crack the lid open during the last half hour on high.
