Description
Learn to make the best BBQ chicken using a Dutch oven or crockpot. Perfect for family dinners, meal prep, and make-ahead freezer meals.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or swap for thighs/drumsticks if you prefer!)
2 cups BBQ sauce (spicy or sweet—your choice!)
1/2 cup Italian dressing (adds a zesty twist).
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Season the Chicken: Place the chicken in your Dutch oven.
Mix the Sauce: Combine BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
Bake It: Cover the Dutch oven and pop it into the oven for 1hr – 1hr 15min. For crispy edges, uncover during the last 15 minutes.
Shred and Serve: Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks, mix it back into the sauce, and serve immediately.
Prep the Crockpot: Line it with a bag (for easy cleanup!) and add the chicken.
Add the Sauce: Pour the BBQ mixture over the chicken.
Cook: Set on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Shred It Up: Use two forks to shred the chicken, then mix it back into the sauce.
Notes
Serving Idea: Pile the shredded chicken onto warm Hawaiian rolls with melty mozzarella and mayo, or spoon it over fluffy baked potatoes for ultimate comfort food vibes.
