Easy Crockpot BBQ Chicken

Here is a quick (labor-wise!) and yummy dinner that is great for keeping the kitchen cool and making a delicious meal for all.
Ingredients:
3-6 frozen chicken breasts (I use some from a 3# bag of freezer chicken breasts)
1 to 2 cups your favorite bottled BBQ sauce

Directions:
In the morning, throw 3-6 frozen breasts (depending on your crowd size) into a crockpot. Cover with 1/2 of the amount of sauce (1/2 cup for 3 breasts/1 cup for 6). Cook 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 on low, depending on your schedule. 
After that time has elapsed, take the lid off and turn to low. Take 2 forks and, using one in each hand, shred/separate the breasts in the crockpot (they will easily fall apart). When done, stir them in the sauce that remains and add the other 1/2 amount of sauce (or add till desired consistency.....I never measure, I just squirt it in.) and stir to mix. Cook a bit longer, or serve immediately. The chicken is great served in hamburger buns with chips and fresh fruit salad.
