Memorial Day is this coming Monday so I decided to publish this post early just in case some of you may want to add a little extra something to your Holiday menu :)

Barbecue and living in the South go hand in hand.  If you could name it, it probably can be barbecued down here in these parts!  Especially chicken.  

For traditional Southern inspired barbecue chicken, you would typically use a grill.  However, I am not a grill master. I leave all of that to Husband Man.  I do, however, love the heck out of my slow cooker, hence this dish.

This recipe is the result of two recipes that I found.  I did some experimenting and turned them into one. And just like most slow cooker recipes, this one is very simple to make.

Mix all your ingredients into one bowl..........

Slather it onto the chicken in the slow cooker (or if you don't want to be dainty about it, pour it all on top)..........

And let it all cook on high for 5 hours.  

Then shred the chicken in the slow cooker and let it cook for one more hour on low.

Serve it in sandwich form......

Or place it over rice.......

Either way....it will leave you wanting more!  Try it and see for yourself ;)

Pulled Barbecue Chicken

(serves 8-10)

Ingredients:

5-6 chicken thinly sliced chicken breasts

2 cups ketchup

4 tbsp. brown sugar

1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 cup of your favorite already made barbecue sauce (we used Jack Daniel's Honey Smokehouse)

Directions:

1.  Place chicken breasts in slow cooker.

2.  Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Stir until well blended.

3.  Lather or pour the sauce over the chicken.

4.  Cook on high for 5 hours.

5.  Shred the chicken and cook on low for another hour.

6.  Serve on toasted buns as a sandwich or over rice.

**Libby's Notes: Top with coleslaw or pickles.  Use any left over chicken to make barbecue chicken pizza (just top with shredded cheddar cheese), barbecue chicken burritos, or use as a topping for baked potatoes.**
