We love using the slow cooker to make ultra tender and juicy chicken. This recipe features a doctored up BBQ sauce that really adds a sweet, tangy flavor to the chicken. Read the blog post above for a list of serving ideas.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is easily shredded with a fork.
Serve hot.
Notes
All slow cookers cook differently. 4 hours is what works for us, but keep cooking until your chicken easily shreds apart with a fork.Chicken thighs will also work in this recipe.We like to serve this chicken with a side of cauliflower rice and our keto coleslaw, but there are loads of ideas listed in the blog post.We used Sweet Baby Ray's No Sugar Added sauce which has 1 net carb per 2 tablespoons. (4g total carbs - 1g fiber - 2g allulose = 1g net carbs) You'll want to use a sauce with the same amount of carbs or recalculate the nutrition information yourself for accurate info.
