These wonderful Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are quite simple to put together and require minimal ingredients. Not only are they easy to make, but they taste fabulous. My whole family loves them. The shredded chicken has a saucy, slightly zesty, smokey flavor that is ever so tasty. Serve them on a sesame seed bun with a nice slice of Swiss or provolone cheese and dinner will be a happy occasion.

I like to serve them with Crispy Parmesan Oven Fries and Watermelon chunks.

I’ve included instructions for both the Crock Pot and the Instant Pot!

Hope you enjoy!

Let me show you how to make it happen…

1. Find yourself some Sweet Baby Ray’s. You need 1 (12 ounce) bottle, or 1 1/2 cups worth. Pour it into a medium-sized bowl.

2. Add 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.

and 1/4 C brown sugar. Take a whisk and stir it all together to combine.

4. Place 6 chicken breasts (about 3 1/2 pounds) in to a 4 quart crock pot. Pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3 1/2-4 hours, depending on how quickly your crock pot cooks.

5. When the chicken has cooked through and easily falls apart…

Remove it from the crock pot and place it on a plate.

Shred it up with two forks.

Then place it back into the crock pot and give everything a nice stir, allowing the chicken to get well coated.

Serve on Hamburger buns with a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese.

Enjoy!

  2. Love your site and recipes! When we pin the recipe it isn’t putting in a title, description, or your website name? Why?

    1. Heartwings,
      Thanks for your feedback. The pin it button is a new feature of the blog redesign, making it an option to pin any of the recipes, not just the first of the post. The title of the picture and the website name will be attached in the future. Thanks,
      ~Jamie

      1. I’m not sure you understand your own web design. The top right pin button should be for the website. The pin button underneath the recipe should be for that individual recipe. There are two pin buttons for different uses on most web pages. It’s to your advantage to have the recipe title and your name attached to the pin. Something has to be there.

  4. The new website looks great! I have pinned many of your recipes and just want to remind you…. close-up, yummy looking food, a tall picture (portrait instead of landscape) and one w/o wording on it, will get the most pins and hits on your site.

  5. Nancy, I like wording on the pics and tend to pin more of them. Also, pins can’t be made without something even a . in the description. Perhaps a personal choice?

  8. I made this last night for my husband and son and they both loved it! I didn’t try it as my tastebuds are undergoing some radical changes – chemo is so much fun- but the aroma in my kitchen while it was cooking was amazing. 🙂
