So, this recipe is pretty much as easy as it sounds a looks.

Only five ingredients – but man oh man it produces some amazing sweet and tangy flavor!

I like to use Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce – the honey BBQ flavor, feel free to use your favorite.

The chicken comes out tender and easy to shred and honestly this is good enough to eat by itself, but we usually make it a full meal and serve with some rice.

Leftovers (if you have any) are great on mixed greens for a light lunch the next day!

I’d call this “finger lickin’ good” because that’s what BBQ always makes me think of – BUT, I imagine you’re a civilized person and will eat your chicken with a fork.

If not, no judgement from this girl.

While I love this for it simplicity year round, it’s really a summer dinner winner for me.

Those flavors of tangy barbecue sauce and sweet pineapple just scream SUMMER at me!

It’s also the fact that it’s all done in the crockpot and I don’t have to be hot and miserable while whipping up some dinner for my family.

  1. I made this recipe and put it over potatoes. We were out of rice lol. My family loved it! Thank you for your delicious recipe and I will make it again!

  2. Throw in some peppers and onions…POW! Delicious. I’ve made this a bunch of times. Pro tip – use the shredded chicken for sloppy sliders!
