A Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe. The pulled chicken is best served in rolls, with coleslaw and rocket, or with jacket potatoes, for a tasty meal.

Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

This Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe is the perfect dish for feeding a crowd. I'm going to be making a big batch to take to our friends party next week, cooking it on low during the day at home, and then taking it over (crockpot and all), to our friends house to plug in there.

With some white rolls and a bit of salad and coleslaw, that's the savoury food sorted. Best of all, it's about the easiest recipe you will EVER make!

What is pulled chicken?


Pulled chicken, or shredded chicken, as it's sometimes known, is chicken that has been cooked until very tender (slow cooking is the best way to achieve this), then pulled apart with forks.

You should pull the chicken as soon as it's finished cooking, and not let it get cold first.

Homemade BBQ Sauce


The homemade BBQ sauce I make here, is really quick and easy, with most of the ingredients already in your kitchen cupboards.

However, if you don't want to be bothered with making up a homemade sauce, just use a shop bought BBQ sauce.

Can I freeze the pulled chicken?



The  Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken can be frozen for another day (if you have any left!). You can also keep it in the fridge for a few days and pick at it like we do!

Top tips for making the slow cooker pulled chicken


The recipe quantities I give below, make enough pulled chicken to fill 8 rolls, but the recipe can easily be doubled or trebled for a large crowd.

I find it's a slightly lighter option than ordinary pulled pork and slow cooker pulled beef (which is another favourite of ours), but is still lovely and filling all the same.

Try serving it with jacket potatoes, if you wanted to make it more of a meal, and any leftovers are really good on nacho's or in taco's.

What ingredients do I need to make the pulled chicken?


  • Chicken Breasts
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Garlic Powder
  • Honey
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Cayenne Pepper
