Southern Shredded BBQ Chicken image

My family loves traditional pork barbecue served over mashed potatoes. I swapped the pork for chicken in honor of the delicious chicken barbecue my childhood church used to serve at its annual fundraiser. I also love cornbread and think that this yummy chicken is even better when served with a slice.-Angela Spengler, Clovis, New Mexico

This recipe was easy to make and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not usually a fan of BBQ chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the sauce was just the right amount of tangy and sweet. I'll definitely be making this again.
