Cooking
- Cover the crockpot and set it on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
- Check for doneness; the chicken should be cooked through and easily shreddable.
- When ready, shred the chicken using two forks, mixing it back into the sauce.
Serving

Notes
Use chicken thighs for a juicier texture. Let the chicken cool before shredding for easier handling. Marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce overnight for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
