Sweet and Tangy Shredded Chicken

This recipe is a staple from my childhood. Growing up if ever there was a crowd to feed for a birthday, summer potluck, or graduation party, you could bet that there would be a crock pot of this on the table. It’s sweet and juicy, but not too heavy on the BBQ sauce.

It can also easily be split in half for an easy meal during the week!

For buns, I *highly* recommend my brioche buns!
