Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Chicken
I have a real love for Dr. Pepper. It was my Granny’s absolute favorite. The smell of Dr. Pepper still brings back memories of her. She always had a fridge stocked with cold cans of Dr. Pepper and even a fridge downstairs full of just cans of Dr. Pepper. A cold can is still the way I prefer to drink it and think of her every time I do. This Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Chicken is so simple to make a recipe that I love.
Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Chicken:
Step one: Place chicken in the slow cooker and season with onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.
Step two: Pour Dr. Pepper and BBQ sauce on your seasoned chicken and place lid on your slow cooker. Cook until chicken is cooked through.
Step three: Once the chicken is cooked through shred and serve. I served mine on buns.
