SLOW-COOKER FREEZER-PACK BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES
Chicken thighs are the ideal slow-cooker meat because they emerge tender and juicy, even after hours of cooking. The sauce is a guaranteed kid-pleaser: Rich, sweet and low on spice and tang. Make a couple of batches to keep in the freezer for busy weeks when you know you'll have limited time for meal prep.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, molasses, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag and shake to combine. Squeeze out the air from the bag and seal. Freeze until ready to use, up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before cooking.
- Pour the contents of the plastic bag in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on low until the meat is tender, 5 to 7 hours. Shred the chicken with a fork and toss it in the cooking liquid.
- Divide the chicken among the 4 buns and top with coleslaw and pickles. Serve with potato chips.
PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES (CROCK POT)
A personal take on a recipe from the "Slow Cooker Bible" and based on recipes typical of North Carolina styled BBQ. The sauce is tangy and flavorful but not spicy as the amount of hot sauce is just enough to balance the sweetness of the ketchup. Certainly mild enough to serve to kids. It you want more zing, add more tabasco or a chopped chipotle pepper en adobo. (If your crock pot is large enough, this easily doubles and the leftovers can be frozen.)

Steps:
- Cut the onion in half and slice into thin half rings. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the onions.
- Trim the chicken breasts and place on top of the bed of onions.
- Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and pour on top of the chicken covering completely. (I make the sauce the night before so that it is a simple dump and run in the morning.)
- Cook for 6 hours on low setting. The sauce thickens and turns into a dark rich brown during cooking. At the same time the onions dissolve into the sauce.
- When the chicken is falling apart tender, take two forks and shred the chicken.
- Serve on top of split buns. I like mine toasted so they hold up better to the weight of the shredded chicken.
- Suggested sides include baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw or cucumber salad.

Steps:
- Remove all visible fat from the chicken and toss it in the crock pot.
- Place the onion slices on top of the chicken.
- Pour the barbecue sauce over top.
- You may not need the entire jar, just enough to cover the chicken.
- Cook it on LOW for 8 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender.
- Shred the chicken with a fork and knife; scoop the mixture onto the bottom buns and top it with the top buns.
- Or, if you're like my dad, you might prefer leaving the breasts whole and eating it that way.
- Voila!
- An easy weeknight meal that doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summertime!
- I love this with potato chips and a carrot and raisin salad.
Tips:
- Prep the Chicken Ahead of Time: Marinate the chicken overnight or for at least 4 hours to infuse it with flavor and make it extra tender. You can also use a store-bought BBQ sauce for convenience.
- Use a Variety of BBQ Sauces: Experiment with different types of BBQ sauces to find your favorite flavor. You can use a sweet, smoky, or spicy sauce, depending on your preference.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken on low heat for 6-8 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Overcooking will dry out the chicken and make it tough.
- Toast the Buns: Toasting the buns adds a nice crispy texture and helps to hold the sandwich together. You can toast them in a toaster, oven, or on a grill.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Once the chicken is cooked, shred it and pile it high on the toasted buns. Add your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, onions, and cheese.
Conclusion:
These crock-pot BBQ chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can have a flavorful and satisfying sandwich that's perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a fun weekend barbecue. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your slow cooker, and let the crock pot do the work for you!
