  • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a serving platter.
  • Brush the chicken with the remaining barbecue sauce.
  • Serve the chicken whole or shredded on hamburger buns.

Notes

  1. Use your favorite bottled barbecue sauce or try my homemade barbecue sauce recipe.
  2. To shred the chicken for sandwiches:
  • After the chicken has cooked, drain the slow cooker of the excess liquid.
  • Using two forks or shredding utensils, gently pull apart the chicken.
  • Add the remaining barbecue sauce on top of the pulled chicken.
  • Serve shredded chicken over rice or on sandwich buns.
