This simple Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Chicken is one of our favorites. It's simple to make and one that the entire family will love. Just add it all to the slow cooker and shred it once cooked.
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 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.

made this last night! so good!
So happy to hear that!
How would this change if you used pre-shredded frozen chicken? 🙂
I would think it wouldn't change at all. Should be the same.
Can you use frozen thighs following the same recipe? I've seen frozen chicken with a cup of water, but I'm wondering if the DP and BBQ sauce would be ok.
Yes, I think you can do that. The cooking time could change so just keep an eye on it.
Just found your site and these incredibly simple yet delicious recipes. I can't tell you how grateful I am! Will be trying the chicken out tomorrow night.
Thanks Nadia!
