This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic BBQ chicken, combining sweet and tangy flavors with a hint of spice, all cooked to tender perfection in a slow cooker.
Combine the BBQ sauce, honey, chili powder, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Avoid opening the slow cooker during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shred the chicken while it's still warm for easier handling.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce until well coated.
Let the chicken sit in the sauce for a few minutes to absorb more flavor.
Serve the BBQ chicken on buns, over rice, or with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a touch of color and freshness.
