If you’re craving a gluten-free twist on a classic American BBQ favourite, this slow cooker BBQ pulled chicken is the answer!

Cooking it low and slow in a slowcooker ensures the chicken is fall-apart tender, perfect for sandwiches, tacos, or even salads.

I love serving mine in a gluten-free burger bap with a slice of American cheese for a hearty sandwich. You can also try serving this BBQ pulled chicken in gluten-free tortillas for tacos, over baked potatoes for a filling meal, or as a topping for gluten-free nachos. It’s versatile, easy to make, and delicious however you serve it.

For a lighter option, try serving it in lettuce wraps with a sprinkle of shredded carrot and a dash of sriracha for a fresh and spicy twist. It’s also delicious on gluten-free tortillas as BBQ chicken tacos – just top with coleslaw and a few pickled jalapeños for a fun Tex-Mex spin.

If you’re planning a gluten-free BBQ feast, this pulled chicken can also be the perfect topping for loaded baked potatoes or sweet potatoes, adding a hearty protein and tons of flavour. Another idea is to use it as a base for gluten-free BBQ chicken nachos. Just layer your favourite gluten-free tortilla chips, add the pulled chicken, sprinkle on some cheese, and pop it in the oven until everything is bubbly and golden. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or meal.

No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this gluten-free slowcooker BBQ pulled chicken is bound to be a new favourite.
