Whether you live right next to your favorite BBQ joint or states away, it just got much easier to enjoy top quality BBQ chicken at home. Ready with minimal effort, this recipe combines a ridiculously delicious brown sugar, Italian dressing, bourbon, and BBQ sauce mixture with chicken breasts for moist, extra-flavorful shredded chicken. Plus, the whole thing is made in a slow cooker, making it as easy to cook as it is to devour.
This slightly sweet, smoky BBQ chicken is incredible on its own, but I highly recommend piling it on top of toasted potato buns with homemade coleslaw and a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce for your new favorite BBQ chicken sandwich. Your options don't stop there. Add these on top of nachos, into tacos, or even on your BBQ chicken pizza. However you use it, you won't be able to get enough!
