Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken

Ingredients

2 pounds (4 large) boneless skinless chicken breasts room temperature
1½ cups Sweet Baby Ray’s Original barbecue sauce 18 oz. bottle, divided
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¼ cup light brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

To a 4-5 quart crockpot slow cooker, add the boneless skinless chicken breasts in a single layer.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s original barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, light brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes.

Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts inside the slow cooker. Be sure to evenly coat all the chicken with the sauce.

Place the lid onto the slow cooker and set to LOW. Cook for 4 – 5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165* F.) and is tender.

Remove the lid to the crockpot slow cooker and add the remaining ½ cup Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce to the chicken. Spread over the top of the chicken.

With the lid removed, turn up the setting to HIGH and cook, uncovered, for 30 – 45 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Once the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat to the crockpot slow cooker, remove the chicken from the crockpot and place it onto a serving plate. Garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired and serve.
