Aunt Fern's Barbequed Chicken Sandwiches

     This recipe was one that my Great Aunt Fern was known for making.  My mom has made it for us for as long as I can remember.  It was always one of the meals I requested my mom make for dinner.  So much so, in fact, that I asked her to make it (lots of it!) for my high school graduation party.  Usually, I boil the chicken and shred it before preparing the meal.  However, this time I knew I needed to make it in the crockpot or we wouldn't be eating dinner!  That's right...with only 30 days left of school (yes, I have already started counting down!) things have been crazy with tutoring, meetings, and grading and I knew I wouldn't be home until 6:30.    I know it doesn't sound late, but my husband has to leave by 7:30.  Anyways, I mixed up the barbecue sauce before leaving for work in the morning and left a note for the husband to pour it in the crockpot when he woke up!  It was so nice to walk in the door that evening and smell the barbecue, not to mention I didn't have to do anything to prepare dinner.

6 chicken breasts (about 2 lbs.)
1 cup ketchup (or more)
¼ cup brown sugar
4 tbsp. cider vinegar
1-2 tsp. mustard
4-6 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp. celery salt (or ¼ cup celery)
1 tbsp. butter
1 small onion, finely chopped. (I make mine without)
1 package hamburger buns

     Boil the chicken.  Allow to cool and then shred.  Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the onion until golden.  Mix in the remaining ingredients and cook with the onion.  Let simmer for about 10 minutes.  Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook in the crockpot for 1 or more hours on low.

Crockpot Method:
     Mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and celery salt.  Pour half of the mixture into the bottom of the crockpot.  Add the uncooked chicken breasts to the crockpot.  Cover with remaining barbecue sauce.  Cook on high for about 6 hours.  Use a fork to shred the chicken.
