Yeah, I'm kind of thinking that draining before pouring BBQ sauce on in the end is the way to go.

I've put left over already cooked turkey shreaded in with commercially bottled BBQ sauce b/4 and it was yummo.
I guess the chicken is juicy - maybe if you used less or put the sauce on afterwards??

I'm afraid I'm going to try another BBQ sandwich recipe. The Cook's Illustrated BBQ sauce is awesome, I'm just looking for something that I can throw in and go with no major prep work and nothing I have to do afterward other than shred the chicken.

It was delicious, but it was way too soupy with the chicken juice that was produced. I dumped it into a strainer in the sink before dishing it out.

I don't know, maybe I'm asking too much for a recipe to counteract the liquid produced by crockpot cooking. The other recipe I have for pork has you cook the meat with a can of coke, drain it, and only at the end combine with BBQ sauce. Methinks they were on to something.

Has anyone ever seen a recipe that doesn't involve draining?

Today I'm going to try the timer function on my crock pot. I'm going to use the BBQ sauce recipe from America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated (yummy!) and throw it over chicken thighs (my store was having a buy one get one free deal on chicken thigh packages. That combined with how cheap chicken thighs are, I couldn't pass it up. If it turns out okay, I'm going to throw the chicken on wheat buns for pulled BBQ chicken sandwiches.
