Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken! This dish uses the popular Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce to create tender, flavorful chicken that’s perfect for sandwiches, served over rice, or paired with your favorite sides.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 bottle (18 oz) Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce (original or your preferred flavor)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water (optional, for more sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for a slight tang)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Set up the Crockpot:
- Place the Chicken in the Crockpot: Put the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of your Crockpot.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce over the chicken. If you want extra sauce, add the chicken broth or water, along with Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar for added flavor (this step is optional, depending on your preference for more or less sauce).
- Cover: Put the lid on the Crockpot and set it to cook.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Cook on Low: Cook the chicken on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork. (If you’re in a rush, you can cook it on high for about 3-4 hours.)
- Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the Crockpot, mixing it with the sauce.
4. Serve:
