Add chicken and onion to the slow cooker. Add sauce to slow cooker and stir to coat the chicken and onions.
Slow cook for 7-8 hours on low OR 3-4 hours on high until chicken is tender.
When chicken is done turn your oven to grill. Transfer chicken and onions to a sheet pan, leaving the juice in the slow cooker. Shred the chicken and spread out to an even layer on the sheet tray.
