Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 1/2 cups thick BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender.

Notes
