  2. In a separate bowl, combine Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk until fully blended.
  3. Transfer the seasoned chicken breasts into your crockpot, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.
  4. Carefully pour the prepared BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken breasts.
  5. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set the cooking time—low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, mixing it with the remaining BBQ sauce before serving.
  8. Serve hot over rice or in sandwich rolls with desired side dishes.
