Equipment

  • Meat Claws, BBQ Shredder Non-Slip

Ingredients

  • 3-4 Chicken Breasts boneless skinless (~2lbs)

BBQ Sauce

  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons white vinegar

For Serving

  • Buns
  • BBQ sauce
  • Slaw optional
  • Shredded lettuce optional
  • Pickles optional

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar for BBQ sauce
  • Place chicken breasts in crock pot or slow cooker. Pour BBQ sauce over chicken. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  • Remove chicken from crockpot using 2 forks, shred chicken in to small pieces. Return back to crockpot and stir to coat with sauce and heat through.

Notes

  • Use boneless skinless chicken breasts for best results. If you use bone in, remove all bones before shredding.
  • Substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs if desired.
  • Don't want to use ketchup, etc, substitute your favorite bbq sauce from the store.
  • You can shred large amounts of chicken using a hand mixer if you don't want to get your hands dirty!
  • The tangy bbq sauce can be substituted with your own bbq sauce.
