Mix together BBQ sauce along with seasoning, honey and vinegar
1 ¾ cup BBQ Sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tablespoons Honey, 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika, 1 teaspoon Onion Powder, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pour enough BBQ sauce on the bottom of the crockpot to just cover the bottom
Season chicken with salt and place in the crockpot
2 chicken breasts, ¼ teaspoon salt
Add remaining BBQ sauce over the top of the chicken
Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily
Remove chicken and shred with two forks
Add chicken back into crockpot and mix with BBQ sauce
Serve hot

Plan on 2-3 people per chicken breast
You can add an additional chicken breast to the crockpot without increasing the sauce
If you double this recipe, the cooking time will increase
Cooking time will vary slightly for each crockpot
Don't overcook the chicken. 4-6 hours on low should be enough to fully cook the chicken. A longer time may result in dry chicken.
Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F
