Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best in this recipe. If using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is the key to the flavor of this dish, so choose one that you really enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't overcrowd the crock pot: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken to cook evenly. If you are using a smaller crock pot, you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
  • Cook the chicken on low: This will help to keep the chicken moist and tender. Cook the chicken for 4-6 hours on low, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans are all great options.
