  • If using sweet potatoes, scatter them evenly over the chicken.
  • Pour the full bottle of barbecue sauce over the contents, ensuring the chicken (and potatoes, if added) are well coated.

  • Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir to evenly distribute the sauce.
  • Serve the pulled BBQ chicken on sandwich rolls, over nachos, or alongside a fresh green salad.
