Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Adjust sweetness based on preference.
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar White vinegar can be used but will alter the flavor slightly.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season each breast generously on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Stir until smooth.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Pour the prepared barbecue sauce mixture over the arranged chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours until chicken is fork-tender.
  6. Once cooked, carefully shred the chicken directly in the crockpot or on a plate and mix back into the sauce.
  7. Serve the Sweet Baby Ray’s crockpot chicken over rice, in sandwiches, or alongside fresh coleslaw.
