Instructions

In a slow cooker, mix together barbecue sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and grated onion.
Add chicken breasts and coat well with the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until chicken is tender and easy to shred.
Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the slow cooker. Stir to coat with sauce.
Serve warm in sandwiches, wraps, over rice, or as desired.

Notes

For a spicier version, add chili powder, cayenne, or hot sauce.
Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
For a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika or a smoky BBQ sauce.
Add pineapple or honey for a sweet twist.
Perfect for batch cooking — it freezes and reheats well.
