This is a chicken version of the popular pulled pork BBQ that can be found at just about any BBQ joint in North Alabama. Many folks forego the sauce entirely because it is already juicy and flavorful and nothing else is even needed!

What’s even better is that my version tastes just like the restaurant’s, but instead of a smokehouse, we use a slow cooker and boneless, skinless chicken breasts! Another huge benefit of this for me is that I can make 5 pounds of pulled chicken BBQ for what I would purchase 1 pound of BBQ for.
