BBQ Shredded Chicken - Slow Cooker
My recipe for slow cooker shredded BBQ chicken, using a homemade sauce. The thing I love about this, is that you control the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. If you like it sweeter, then increase the honey. If you like it tangier, then increase the vinegar. If you like it spicy, then add more hot sauce and some cayenne pepper. Don't leave out the liquid smoke though, it is essential for that classic BBQ taste. As is, this sauce has a little taste of everything.

Very smokey, very saucy, and very intense. We made this for the Ronald McDonald House and we were told afterwards that people were hoarding it after we left.

You may notice a theme in 2 of my last 3 recipes. I love BBQ. I will put it on anything and everything. People may like ketchup/catsup, mayonnaise, mustard, etc on their fries, but I prefer BBQ sauce. To me it is so much better. A juicy cheeseburger? BBQ Sauce.Ice cream? Chocolate syrup. Even I have limits to what I put BBQ sauce on.With this recipe, it is all about taking a chance. After I made the ribs, I thought to myself, why not do this with chicken? My wife said, "Yes please." We took the plunge.Needless to say, we loved it. 99% of the recipes that I have posted, I love. Only one of the recipes, I was eh with, but others loved it. So I posted it. I will let you decide which one it is.Back to the recipe. I have digressed a lot, my ADD is in full effect. :-) Anyway, I love this recipe. What is not to love? Tender, moist, chicken with BBQ sauce. It is super simple and super delicious. Enjoy with whatever you want. I love cornbread muffins and string beans, so I ate it with that.You can keep the skin on or take it off. We like it skinless, so we took it off ourselves. Not hard to do at all. If I can do it, then anyone can. This recipe calls for bone in chicken thighs, but you can use any part that you prefer.Enjoy!
