Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by generously seasoning your chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to ensure an even coating that enhances flavor.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
  5. Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.
  6. Serve the Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken over rice, in a sandwich, or alongside a salad.
