Directions: |
Directions:Prepare a spice rub mixture and rub over both sides of all of the chicken pieces.
Place chicken in the crockpot (I place a crockpot bag liner in the crockpot prior to placing the chicken in the crockpot, it makes for easy cleanup.)
Cook in the covered crockpot for 4 to 6 hours on low. I cooked this recipe for 5 hours and I had close to 2 pounds of each of the two cuts of chicken. After the chicken is done, remove the chicken from the crockpot and place it in a large bowl, let it cool slightly, and shred the chicken into small pieces, it shreds very easily with two forks.
Skim the fat layer from the liquid remaining in the crockpot and discard the fat layer. Heat 1 cup of barbeque sauce in the microwave, approximately 3 minutes, once heated, mix in a cup of the warm liquid from the crockpot.
Pour the barbecue sauce into the warm liquid mixture from the crockpot, stir and toss the chicken.
It is ready to serve.
Enjoy! |

Notes: TIP: Since we weren't ready to eat after completing the above steps for this recipe, I discarded the remaining liquid in the crockpot and keeping the crockpot liner in the crockpot, I poured the chicken mix back into the crockpot set to the warm setting until we were ready to eat.
Serve on toasted rolls with a side of coleslaw and sweet butter pickles. The coleslaw is also good putting it right on the pulled chicken sandwich.
