This Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Chicken is so easy to make that you’ll want to add it to your menu all the time! 3 ingredients and a few hours in the Crockpot is all that stands between you and a delicious meal! This Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Chicken is perfect on its own but even better as a BBQ sandwich on a brioche bun!

Slow cooker BBQ and Soda BBQ might have been one of the first things I cooked when I started learning how to cook. Beef and Vegetable Soup, Ma’s Broccoli Casserole and BBQ Pulled Pork (for Sandwiches) were the main dishes that I made when I first learned my way around the kitchen.
This BBQ chicken is one recipe that I love to pop into the crockpot before I take my son to school and take it out when it’s time for lunch.
Although this BBQ chicken is great on it’s own, served with sides, it is fantastic on a bun for a sandwich.
