Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 2-1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- For the Homemade BBQ Sauce:
- 1-1/4 Cups ketchup
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 Cup honey
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1/4 Cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Method
- Combine all the ingredients for the barbecue sauce and whisk them together in a bowl.
- Toss the chicken breasts directly into your slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Drizzle the honey all over the chicken.
- Add the barbecue sauce and mix.
- Cover your slow cooker and cook on high for four hours.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker. With two forks, easily shred the chicken apart – it should fall apart effortlessly.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Give it a good stir and let it cook on low for an additional 20 minutes.
