There's no summer meal more iconic than good ol' BBQ chicken and this particular recipe is one you'll come back to time and time again. It's quick and easy to make and results in seriously juicy and flavorful shredded BBQ chicken that you can use to make just about anything! It starts with my go-to homemade BBQ dry rub, one I've tweaked and tinkered with over the years until it has juuuust the right balance of spice, sweetness, and smokiness. (Go ahead and double or triple the dry rub – you'll want to use it on everything!) From there, simply dust boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs with the rub, give it a good sear on the stovetop, then let it simmer in the oven in a smoky and tangy BBQ sauce. This stovetop-to-oven method is my favorite since it's really quick and doesn't require much planning or forethought, but if you're interested in making BBQ chicken in your slow cooker/Crockpot or Instant Pot, check the Recipe Notes, below, for full instructions.  The awesome thing about this shredded BBQ chicken is you can use it to make just about anything – loaded sandwiches and sliders, BBQ chicken pizza, tacos, a light salad or grain bowl, and more! – and everyone raves about it.
