    Jack Daniel's Pulled BBQ Chicken is a crockpot recipe that you cannot miss! This simple chicken recipe is perfect for easy weeknight dinners and game day! 

    A trio of pulled chicken sandwiches with coleslaw on top.

    Jack Daniel's known for their Tennessee Whiskey but their barbeque sauce? Not so much. Their barbeque sauce is infused with the whiskey for a balanced taste with robust flavor. Jack Daniel's also makes pre-made pulled chicken made with their famous and original barbeque sauce. This recipe is my take on the pulled chicken using the classic bbq sauce. 

    This crockpot barbeque chicken is perfect for football parties, picnics and dinner tonight! If you are looking for more simple slow cooker recipes, try this Slow Cooker Classic Beef Stew (using Onion Soup Mix). This complete meal is made in a crockpot, perfect for a quick dinner. Or, try these Crockpot Chicken and Veggie Enchiladas. The chicken and vegetables are cooked together in the slow cooker and then the enchiladas are assembled and baked for just 25 minutes. Talk about getting dinner on the table quickly!

    • Add extra bell pepper slices to sneak some veggies into this pulled chicken. 
    • For more spice, add some cayenne pepper to the seasoning. 

    Equipment

    • Cutting Board and Sharp Knife
    • Measuring Cup
    • Crock Pot
    • Stand Mixer to shred the chicken. Alternatively, you can shred the chicken using two forks. 

    How To Make Jack Daniel's Pulled BBQ Chicken

    Chicken breasts seasoned with paprika, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper.

    Step 1: Season both sides of the chicken with salt, paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper.

    Step 6: Shred chicken and mix with leftover bbq sauce. Enjoy!

    Expert Tips

    1. Have extra barbeque sauce on hand for serving the pulled chicken. 
    2. If your chicken breast are large, slice them in half. Generally speaking, I like the chicken breasts to be less than ½ inch when cooking. 
    3. Keep a close eye on the crockpot while the chicken cooks. All crockpots cook differently and the cooking time can vary. Make sure that nothing is burning inside of the crockpot. Once chicken is cooked through, remove and shred. Overcooking the chicken will cause the chicken to be dry. 

    Storage

    Store any leftover shredded chicken refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Chicken can be frozen for 3-4 months. I recommend shredding the chicken prior to freezing. You can also freeze the pulled chicken in individual portion sizes for quick lunches and meal prep!

    Recipe FAQ's

    What is Jack Daniel's Pulled Chicken made with?

    Jack Daniel's Pulled Chickens main ingredients are: boneless skinless chicken breast with rib meat, salt, paprika, sugar, caramel color, granulated garlic, granulated onion, cayenne pepper, green bell pepper, celery seed, molasses powder, black pepper and BBQ sauce. This information was taken from the Jack Daniels website.

    Why is my pulled chicken tough?

    Pulled chicken can be tough and dry if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to determine when chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken breast should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. 

    How should I serve my pulled chicken?

    Make a pulled chicken sandwich, add a little hot sauce, add some fiesta cheese and make a chicken taco or quesadilla or place chicken over top of a garden salad for a healthy lunch! 

    How can I reheat my BBQ Pulled Chicken?

    Reheat BBQ Pulled Chicken in the microwave stirring every few minutes or reheat in an oven-safe pan in the oven until warm. Be sure to add extra Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey BBQ Sauce before serving.
