Ingredients
– 2.25 pounds raw, skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 4-6 thighs)
– 3 tablespoons BBQ seasoning
– 1 cup hickory or Kansas City style BBQ sauce
Instructions
1-First, gather and measure all ingredients, preparing the chicken thighs by trimming excess fat to promote even cooking and reduce calories.
2-Second, in a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and BBQ seasoning to create a flavorful base that coats the chicken evenly.
3-Third, place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crockpot, then pour the sauce mixture over the meat for thorough coverage.
4-Fourth, cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5-Fifth, for variations, consider swapping ingredients based on dietary needs, such as using turkey-based recipes for inspiration if you’re experimenting with proteins.
6-Final step: Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks in the crockpot, mix it with the sauce, and serve hot for a mouthwatering meal.
