Picture this: you're setting up camp, the aroma of pine is in the air, and the last thing you want to do is spend hours slaving over a complicated meal. I had that exact feeling last summer. One of my friends told me about their fun hiking experience in the mountains, and I thought I need some easy food for our trip so I figured I'd try out a friend's crockpot recipe. This Crockpot Peach BBQ Chicken is a total game-changer. It's so simple, even I can manage it after a long day of hiking and setting up camp. Plus, the sweet and tangy peach BBQ sauce? Forget about it. It’s like a little taste of summer in the great outdoors.
What makes this recipe so perfect for camping? Well, for starters, the prep is minimal. You can throw everything into the crockpot before you leave home, and it’ll be ready to go when you arrive. Second, it’s a crowd-pleaser. Everyone, even the picky eaters in your group, will dig into this. We always seem to have to find something for the little ones in my camping groups. Trust me, even that is an understatement! Finally, it's versatile. Serve it on buns for sandwiches, over rice, or with a side of coleslaw. No matter how you plate it, it will be a hit. So grab your crockpot, pack your ingredients, and let's make some unforgettable camping memories (and meals!).

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, you'll want to gather all your ingredients and equipment. Having everything prepped and ready to go makes the process so much smoother. I usually do this the night before a camping trip.
- Next, place the chicken thighs or breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. If using bone-in, skin-on thighs, you might want to consider removing the skin to reduce the fat content. Alternatively, you can sear them in a pan before adding them to the crockpot, but, for camping? Keep it SIMPLE!
- In a bowl, combine the peach preserves, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Pour the peach BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. I like to use a spatula to spread the sauce evenly. At this stage, you can add a sliced onion or some peach slices for extra flavor, but that's extra and we don't need EXTRA.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot, so keep an eye on it. The chicken is done when it's cooked it thru and you can shred it easily with a fork.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Be careful, as it will be hot!
- Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir it into the sauce. This allows the chicken to soak up all that delicious peachy BBQ flavor. Let it simmer for another 15-20 minutes to warm through.
- Before serving, give it a taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Some people like a touch more salt, while others prefer a splash of hot sauce. Now you serve that up
- Serve the Crockpot Peach BBQ Chicken on buns for sandwiches, over rice, with coleslaw, or however you like. Garnish with some fresh cilantro or green onions if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy around the campfire and pat yourself on the back. You made this!
📝 Notes
