In reply to JL. I really appreciate the feedback. I like searing the breasts first to seal in the juices for a tender chicken and to get that nice golden exterior, but you can definitely skip this step. Did you use really thick/larger chicken breasts? They might have just needed a little more time to slow cook. The searing shouldn't create an issue with shredding if they were fully cooked. Overall, I'm really glad that you enjoyed the recipe!

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe when I read it. I make crock pot bbq chicken fairly often although sometimes just make it in a saucepan, too. But the finished flavor was very tasty. One step that I was disappointed with was searing the chicken in a skillet to start. I did that and it looked great. I finished up the rest of the instructions and after it had cooked on low in my CP for 6 hours I took the chicken out to shred it. One breast shredded fine but the other was very difficult to shred. It couldn’t have been the ingredients. It could have been the chicken but I purchased it fresh and cooked it within an hour of purchase. I think it was the searing that did it. But otherwise the taste of the finished product was very nice.

I also made the avocado lime mayo slaw. I liked it while my husband didn’t. I left out the cilantro as he doesn’t like it. I think it could have used some fiery spice to infuse some heat into it. But I will try that again, too.

Just finished making this with 3 lbs of chicken and I took a chance and made your barbecue sauce. Incredibly delicious! I am not usually very daring on sauces, however, I just made pulled pork yesterday with Sweet Baby Ray’s for a weekend in Michigan and needed something different for my sister who only likes chicken. I am so happy I found your recipe. The sauce was so similar to the one my Aunts (who were nuns) made us with pork chops. 😊

In reply to Maggie. Hi Maggie! You could always cut back on the onion a bit since the sauce already has it in there. I hope you enjoy it!

Amee,
I am making this with your barbecue sauce and was wondering if I might be adding too much onion to the dish. Your thoughts?
