Instructions
PREP SLOW COOKER:
Lightly grease the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray.
PREP CHICKEN:
Place chicken in the crockpot.
Pour ¾ cup of BBQ sauce over the top.
Turn the chicken in the BBQ sauce to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
SLOW COOK:
Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and reaches 180 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 4 to 5 hours on LOW or 3 ½ hours on HIGH.
PREP PAN AND BROILER:
Adjust the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler, and preheat your broiler. If your broiler has a low or high setting, heat it to high.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and then place a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with nonstick cooking spray.
BROIL CHICKEN:
Place the cooked chicken on the prepared baking sheet and wire rack.
Brush the chicken on both sides with the remaining ¾ cup of BBQ sauce.
Broil the chicken until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through broiling.
SERVE:
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
