The simplest, tastiest, feed-a-crowd barbecue I know of. Warms your tummy in the winter. Helps you avoid turning on the oven or even the grill in the summer. A frugal fast food for slow Sundays year ’round.
Pair it with corn on the cob, watermelon and a side of slaw and you have yourself an Independence Day meal. Of course, the children can mix up some Cookies and Cream for an easy and cool dessert.

YUM! Your barbecued chicken looks delicious. I need to add more slow cooker meals into my line up now that it is getting hot!
Kelly Hess says
Is the chicken moist inside when it is done?
Tricia H says
It is for me, Kelly! You cook it surrounded by a whole bottle of BBQ sauce 🙂 Hope you like it!
Mrs. White says
This looks wonderful!
Jackie says
This looks delicious and I am going to give it a try! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Celine says
I love this recipe and make it often with chicken and even pork. I just love using the crock pot and pulling meat right out of the freezer.
Kelly: I always get moist chicken as long as I use the low setting and don’t leave the chicken in to long. I usually find 5hrs is the best time frame for my particular crock pot.
Tricia H says
Thanks Celine! You answered Kelly’s question better than I did. Exactly – on low for 5 hours seems to be the perfect timing. Alea, Mrs. White, Jackie – thank you and enjoy!
Jennifer says
We do the same thing. We shred the chicken after we take it out of the crockpot and put back into the bbq sauce. We put it on toasted buns for bbq chicken sandwiches – LOVE IT!
Lynn says

Pre-cooked chicken sold in bags are typically cured with nitrates. It is much healthier to use fresh chicken breasts and boil your own before cutting into strips.

Jen says
I’m a little confused. How are you doing this meal for $5? I usually pay about $6 for a 3-pound bag of frozen chicken?
