I am excited to share with you today a shredded barbecue chicken sandwich recipe! This is one of my favorite go-to meals because it is so EASY! It is made in a crockpot, and it is a fantastic freezer meal as well! When I make this meal I usually double the sauce and dump half of it in a crockpot with chicken and the rest into a large ziploc bag with chicken and freeze it. Just pull it out, let it thaw, and pop it in a crockpot the next day for a super simple dinner solution!
Check out how simple this is to throw together!
Start by stirring together all of your ingredients.
Place your chicken in the crockpot and pour the sauce over the top of the chicken. Cook on low for 4 – 6 hours.
Shred the chicken when the cooking time is nearing the end and allow it to soak up the sauce.
Spoon the chicken onto a roll and enjoy!

I loved this recipe! I was wanting to know how I could use pork riblets rather than chicken? How much should I use? Would the cooking time be the same?
I have never tried it, so I have no idea what the answers to your questions are, sorry! I’m sure the sauce would taste yummy with pork, though!
Is the chicken frozen for this recipe?
I usually use fresh chicken, but I’m sure you could use frozen. Just cook it longer I guess.
