Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken with Homemade BBQ Sauce
The star of this recipe is the homemade BBQ sauce, in which the chicken is cooked until it falls apart. The delicious herbs of the BBQ sauce give the chicken a lot of flavor, and it is also very easy to make.
And because you make it yourself, you can easily adjust it to your taste. If you want a little more depth, add some soy sauce. And if you like it spicy, stir in some pepper.
And after making the sauce, you put the chicken in it, which becomes a 'set and forget' recipe. Just before dinner, bake the rolls in the oven and top each roll with pulled chicken and salad.

This is a really easy recipe that anyone can make. All you have to do is mix the BBQ sauce, place the chicken in the sauce, and let the slow cooker do the work.
After seven hours on low (or four on high), you will have a delicious pulled chicken for your sandwich. I love that a dish has so much flavor with so little effort. I'd say try it yourself and enjoy!
