Craving BBQ flavor but don’t want to fire up the grill or make a big batch? These Crockpot BBQ Chicken Thighs for Two are easy, saucy, and made with just a few pantry staples. You get tender, juicy chicken with bold barbecue flavor, all without heating up the kitchen.
This recipe is perfect for busy nights or when you just want something simple but satisfying. A touch of brown sugar adds a little sweetness, and garlic and onion powder round out the sauce. Adding a bit of broth or water helps the chicken cook evenly in the slow cooker and keeps the sauce from getting too thick or sticky.
Serve these saucy chicken thighs with mashed potatoes on the side for the ultimate comfort meal. The BBQ sauce seeps into the potatoes, making every bite flavorful and cozy. It’s a fuss-free dinner that tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
Make It a Meal
Pair your BBQ chicken with:
- Mashed potatoes – soak up all that sauce
- Roasted green beans or steamed broccoli – adds color and freshness
- Cornbread or a simple side salad – optional but always a good idea
Want to spice it up? Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne to the sauce for a little heat.
