Easy, cheap, and tasty!! I've made this a few times now. Today I added sliced onions and the sauce at the start of cooking. Before serving I use two forks to shred the chicken inside of the crockpot.

Great tasting and simple. I let the chicken and sauce simmer for an extra amount of time, just to thicken it up a bit. I'll post a pic soon. :)

If I could give it zero stars, I would have. I threw it out and made sandwiches for the family, HORRIBLE!

I've made this a couple times and plan on making it for dinner tomorrow. It is very good! I don't cook it in the crockpot, I actually boil the chicken in water on the stove while in a large saucepan I combine the rest of the ingredients. Once the chicken is done, I shred it with a fork and then add to the sauce. Very good!!! Thanks for the recipe :)

Absolutely delicious! It's the way BBQ should be! One tip though: don't cook it in the crockpot on high for 3 hours. Cook it on low for 8-10 hours and it'll be nice and moist. Thanks for the great recipe! :)
