  • 50 Grams Brown Sugar, Packed (1/4 Cup)
  • 34 Grams Worcestershire Sauce (2 Tablespoons)

Instructions
 

  • Add chicken breasts to slow cooker.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine barbecue sauce, dressing, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well incorporated.
  • Pour sauce over the chicken.
  • Cook in the slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Carefully use a fork to shred the chicken.

Notes

You can be a little flexible on the chicken. I've done as little as 4 large chicken breasts in this recipe to 8 smaller sized chicken breasts. I typically just buy a big bag of frozen chicken breasts from Costco and put in as many as my slow cooker can handle without overfilling it.
