Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a crockpot.
Cook on low for 4-7 hours, or until chicken is tender and easily shreds.
Using two forks, shred the chicken in the pot.
Stir to coat the meat in the sauce.
Cook on high for an additional 1 hour to thicken the glaze.
Serve warm as a main dish or in tacos, bowls, or sandwiches.

Notes

For a fattier result, substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts.
Coconut sugar or honey can be used instead of brown sugar.
Ensure the Worcestershire sauce is pork-free and the barbecue sauce is alcohol-free.
Chicken can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
