Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 packet (28g) dry ranch seasoning mix

Instructions
 

  • Arrange Chicken Thighs:

    Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker, making sure they are not stacked.

  • Add Ranch Seasoning:

    Evenly distribute the dry ranch seasoning over the chicken.

  • Coat with BBQ Sauce:

    Drizzle the BBQ sauce on top, then use a spoon to coat every part of the chicken thoroughly.

  • Cook Until Tender:

    Cook on Low for 6–8 hours or on High for 3–4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  • Shred the Chicken:

    Transfer the chicken to a plate and shred it using two forks.

  • Mix with Sauce:

    Put the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and mix with the remaining sauce for 10 minutes so the meat absorbs the liquid.
