Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken
This is truly the perfect weeknight dinner. The sauce only takes a few minutes to prep then you just throw it in the crock pot for 5-7 hours. The chicken thighs shred easily and taste amazing on a bun or a wrap with coleslaw or spinach as I like them. I served this with roasted sweet potatoes for a simple and hearty weeknight dinner.
Note: You could make this without the brown sugar or use sugar free ketchup if you need to reduce your sugar intake.
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs trimmed (I used 5 thighs)
1 ½ cups ketchup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 garlic clove
Buns/wraps for serving
Coleslaw
Side dishes
Directions:
- Mix all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl or the base of the slow cooker.

- Note: You can freeze this and thaw when you are ready to cook by adding all ingredients to a freezer bag.
