This Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe is an absolute staple in our house!
Over the past (almost 6?!) years of blogging, this recipe for Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken has gotten a lot of attention from us.
The recipe is simple, comes together in minutes, and it tastes absolutely incredible. We often eat it on hamburger buns, and will occasionally switch up our sides from roasted veggies, to french fries, to salads…depending on what we’re in the mood for, of course.
And sometimes, it’s even delicious sans-bun with a few extra toppings and scooped up with tortilla chips.
No matter how you choose to eat it, it’s a great meal to make any time. It makes a big portion, too, which is perfect for feeding a crowd OR for dividing and freezing for another future meal.

And, as promised, here is the breakdown of my workout this morning. The last 10 minutes are SUPER intense!!
I am soooo going to make the pulled pork. The hubby will love this!
Awesome! Let me know how it comes out!
(P.S. – I heard you had a killer outfit on last week!) ;)
Oatmeal red raspberry pancakes?! Those sound delicious!
They are like nothing I’ve ever tasted…just amazing!
That pulled chicken looks soooo delicious. I’m going to get my shit together and email you later this week with some pictures of different goodies for, ya know, the blog thing.
That pulled chicken looks AMAZING. And the roasted vegetables? My favorite. And of course, the cupcake doesn’t look half bad ;-)
If you’re ever in the Hartford area, you’ll have to try out Wood n Tap or Agave. They are actually owned by the same people and they are both so awesome. If you’re a fan of sushi and you’re in the Worcester, MA area, try Baba sushi. It’s a small place and it’s a bit pricey, but so worth it!
Courtney, this recipe was fabulous! Thank you for yet another great recipe!
What is the calories on this meal per serving?
Do you know how many serving the pulled chicken recipe makes? I’d like to make it for my daughters 2nd birthday party & need to figure out if I should double it. Thanks so much!
Hey Mary! Hmm…if I had to guess, I’d say maybe 8-10 servings? It does freeze well though, so if you do make a double batch, you can always freeze for another meal! :)
Where da raztastic oatmeal pancakes go?
Hi Courtney,
My daughters are both allergic to milk, so I am unable to use the French Onion Soup. What would you recommend as a substitute?
Thanks for the yummy recipe!
