Can I use store-bought sugar-free BBQ sauce?

Yes. My favourite brands of sugar-free and keto BBQ sauces are Sticky Fingers and G. Hughes which you can find at most grocery stores, including Walmart.

Keto Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

Units Scale

2.5 lbs chicken, boneless, skinless
1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce (or a Whole30 or Paleo-approved BBQ Sauce)
1/2 medium onion, grated with juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In the pot of your slow cooker, stir together all the sauce ingredients.
Add in the chicken and toss to the chicken to cover it in the sauce. Turn the all-in-one or slow cooker on "high" and cook for 3 hours. Check the chicken and if you can easily pierce it with a fork, it is ready. If not, continue to cook it for an additional 1 hour.
Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks.
If the sauce is too thin, bring the sauce to a simmer and simmer until the sauce thickens (about 5-10 minutes).
Place the chicken back into the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce.

Notes

if using an all-in-one, like my Ninja Foodi, make sure that you leave open the vent and do not seal it.
for crispy chicken, once chicken has cooked, place the all-in-one on "broil" and close the lid until the chicken begins to crisp.
if you are in a hurry, you can thicken the sauce quickly by whisking in 1/4 tsp xantham gum.
