This was so yummy! I used boneless chicken (much easier than bone in!) and red wine vinegar instead of the Worcestershire sauce, and skipped the red onion, liquid smoke and scallions. Also subbed shredded cheddar for the blue cheese. It was delicious!!!!

My family just raves about this recipe. I used chicken breast instead of with the bone. Absolutely fabulous! Takes absolutely no time at all! This recipe takes all of 5 minutes to combine and another 5 minutes to shred! Thanks Taste of Home for yet another winner!

Great recipe and it's something different! We really enjoyed these. I only used 1 tablespoon liquid smoke and used Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. I might use a little less brown sugar next time as it was a tad sweet, but delicious none the less. We ate them the first night just as suggested w/ the blue cheese and green onions, terrific! The next day, we tried them with shredded sharp cheddar melted over the chicken, added the green onion and liked that even better. My son enjoyed the chicken in flour tortillas with cheddar cheese and lettuce and those we great too. A very easy recipe with great results and it feeds a bunch. I will have these again, thank you!

The chicken was delicious and all went together perfectly. It seems like a lot of work, but actually it went together pretty easily. I substitued mozzarella cheese for the blue for the kids.

I made this for a Ladies' Lunch and we all loved it. I made the recipe exactly as directed the afternoon before the luncheon, boned the chicken and kept in large chunks in the crock pot in the fridge overnight. Then I just reheated for about an hour or so the next morning and shredded right before serving. I might try this with chicken tenders sometime to simplify, but it is a great recipe just the way it's written.

Thought this was really tasty, even without the blue cheese which we don't like. Maybe feta next time? I forgot to combine the sauce ingredients prior to putting in crock pot, so I swirled them together in the pot as best I could, and it turned out fine. I also made a 2/3 recipe so I could fit it into my smaller crock pot. I also used three used up three different kinds of BBQ sauce that I partial bottles of in the fridge. This wasn't a "quick and easy crock pot dish" (waiting on the chicken to cool and shredding it were kind of a hassle), but the flavor was excellent. I plan to make it again!

I made this the week my magazine came and we loved it. I made it the next week to send to someone who just had a baby, and I plan on making it and freezing this on hand meals. I didn't use the liquid smoke and didn't think it needed it, and used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce. We have had it on potatoes and buns and both are great.

Yes but it was more time consuming than the directions led you to believe. When I make it again, I will make it in a slow oven so that it doesn't have to cook all day
