Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Whisk the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker.
  2. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover and cook on low 6–8 hours or high 3–4 hours until the chicken shreds easily.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a board, shred with two forks, and return it to the sauce. Stir well. If the sauce is thin, cook uncovered on high 20–30 minutes until thickened.
  4. Spoon the chicken onto toasted buns, top with slaw, and serve hot.

Notes

Cook time listed is for the low setting; see the tips table for high. A little extra sauce on the side for dipping is never a bad idea.
