  • Add the chicken to the slow cooker and then cook on low for 5-6 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  • When there is one hour remaining, remove the thighs from the slow cooker and whisk your choice of barbecue sauce into the chicken juice. Shred the chicken thighs using two forks.

  • Make your choice of Keto bread, then load them up with Keto pulled chicken. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I prefer thighs in this Keto Pulled Chicken, but breast works too. You can either buy them boneless and skinless, or remove the bones and skin yourself.
  2. I am obsessed with this homemade Low Carb BBQ Sauce. It is super easy to make and perfect for this Keto Pulled Chicken! If you have your own favourite sugar free bbq sauce, go ahead and try it in this recipe.
  3. My sweetener of choice for this Keto Pulled Chicken is Lakanto’s golden monk fruit sweetener. You can use any Keto sweetener you happen to have on hand.
  4. I prefer either 90 Second Keto Bread or Keto Chaffles for this recipe because they are fast and easy to make. Otherwise these Low Carb Onion Buns would be great, or make sliders with Keto Dinner Rolls!
