Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Trim any excess fat off the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
In the slow cooker, combine the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the sauce is well blended.
Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, making sure they are fully coated in the sauce.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, depending on your schedule.
After the cooking time, check the chicken for doneness. It should be tender and easily shred with a fork. If needed, continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with foil, brush with additional BBQ sauce, and broil in the oven on high for 3-5 minutes until the edges are slightly charred.
Serve the slow-cooked BBQ chicken hot with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
