📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place chicken in 5 - 7 quart slow cooker (I use this one).
2
In a small mixing bowl whisk together chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
3
Pour spice mixture over chicken and add grated onion. Toss well to evenly coat chicken with spices.
4
Evenly pour 3/4 cup BBQ sauce over the chicken.
5
Cover and cook on low heat ⏱️ 4 - 6 hours until chicken shreds easily and registers 165 degrees in center.
6
Transfer chicken to a cutting board, reserve liquid from the slow cooker. Skim fat from the liquid and discard the fat.
7
Shred chicken with two forks (I do it a little larger than I want it to end up because as you toss again in the next step it shreds up a bit on it's own).
8
Return chicken to slow cooker. Heat remaining 3/4 cup BBQ sauce with 2 Tbsp steak sauce in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave until warm (about ⏱️ 1 - 2 minutes).

9
Pour 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid and the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken then toss to evenly coat. If you feel it needs a little more moisture you can add another splash of the reserved liquid (or more BBQ sauce), also season to taste with a little more salt if needed.

Serve the pulled bbq chicken in hamburger buns (I also like to add coleslaw, with a little blue cheese mixed in sometimes too).
