Ingredients

3 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless
16 ounces barbecue sauce 2 cups
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, light brown sugar, pepper, salt, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until combined.
Pour the sauce over the top of the chicken and cook for 2 to 3 hours on high or 4 to 6 hours on low.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it on a cutting board.
While the chicken is out of the slow cooker, whisk together the cornstarch and water then add to the sauce and whisk to combine.
Add the chicken back into the sauce and stir to combine. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes so the sauce can soak into the meat and thicken.
Serve warm on a toasted brioche bun with slaw and pickles or use in tacos, quesadillas, and more.

Notes

To freeze, cool completely and transfer to a freezer bag and squeeze out any excess air.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

And 16 to 18oz. A bottle of barbecue sauce will work. Pick your favorite. We’ve made this with both Stubb’s and Sweet Baby Ray.
