The Crock Pot is an extremely underutilized kitchen appliance. While most people, including myself, only use the slow-cooker for soups and sauces, its versatility expands well beyond that.
While I was browsing Pinterest one evening, I came across a barbecue chicken recipe for the slow cooker. The recipe was adapted from a blog, which was adapted from another blog. Since the wonderful world of food bloggers thought it appropriate to recreate, I decided to try so myself.
Requiring close to zero prep-work, this recipe proved to be one of the easiest dinner recipes ever created.
Just whisk a bottle of barbecue sauce with four select ingredients to enhance the flavor and thin it down for the slow-cooking process.
Take three to six boneless, skinless chicken breasts and place them in the cooker, pouring the sauce on top making sure to cover all pieces of chicken.
Cover, cook and enjoy. Simple.
The slow-cooking process creates a beautiful barbecue crust for the fall-apart chicken. Better and cheaper than any barbecue joint.
I served mine with sweet potato fries and steamed zucchini with sweet onions and garlic.
Crockpot Barbecue Chicken
What you need:
3-6 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet ‘n' Spicy)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
What to do:
Mix barbecue sauce with all ingredients listed under it. Place chicken in Crock Pot and pour sauce over it.
Cook on low 4-6 hours. You don’t have to stir, but if you are antsy, like me, splashing the sauce over the top of the chicken will ensure a good coating.
