Delicious and super easy barbecue chicken slow cooked in the Crock Pot. Life-in-the-Lofthouse.com Hello friends! I have another ridiculously easy crock pot recipe for you to try! I loved this chicken. It had tons of flavor and was a nice little change-up to the every day barbecue chicken we all make.

The recipe calls for a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce and some extra additions that make it taste amazing! We ate this with a side of veggies and loved it. Next time, I think I’m going to shred the chicken and make us some BBQ Chicken Sliders with it. Oh yeah!

Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce (we like the ‘Sweet Baby Ray’s' brand)
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional, and amount depends on your heat tolerance)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a large greased crock pot ( I use a 7 quart).
    In a medium bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, vinegar, garlic powder and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir sauce and then pour over chicken. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
  • Close with lid and cook on low heat for 3 hours. (The last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the lid from crock pot and let water evaporate to thicken sauce). Serve warm and enjoy!

  1. I notice you cook a lot of broccoli. Broccoli is my favorite too. I make it as my side veggie for most dinners 🙂 Your blog is amazing. I look forward to all the recipes you post. I’ve made a ton and haven’t been disappointed yet! Keep up the great work.

  2. This looks super simple and really tasty. All I need is some bbq sauce. I’m from SLC and I remember bbq chicken dishes like this over rice my grandma use to make. So good!

  3. Looks delicious! I just posted a recipe for Barbecue Chicken. To make it in the crockpot, I use chicken breasts like you do, and right before serving, I shred the breasts while they are still in the pot, with two forks and voila – pulled chicken barbecue sandwiches. Great with cole slaw on top and be sure to use good rolls for the sandwiches. Enjoy!
