Crockpot BBQ Chicken Recipe

[Shellyann36]

Ok folks tonight for supper we are having Crockpot BBQ Chicken. I found this recipe on Pinterest and fell in love with its simplicity. Here is the recipe.

4 to 6 pieces of boneless skinless chicken breast ( since I am the only one who likes chicken breast in our family I used thighs and drum sticks as well as one piece fo breast for me. )
1 bottle of bbq sauce
1/4 c vinegar
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 - 1 tsp. garlic powder

Put the chicken in the crock pot and mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl. I mixed mine together on the stove in a pot so that I could assure that the brown sugar melted completely. Pour over your chicken. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.

I put my chicken in frozen and that was a mistake. It made too much water so I ended up taking the chicken out at the end point and placing it in a glass baking dish and covering it with more sauce. I put it in the oven for a few minutes at 350 degrees just so I could get the chicken glazed with the sauce.

I served this with potato salad and some green beans.

My family really likes it. I do have a picture when I figure out how to load it here!

Would fresh chicken breasts work better? Would you recommend that instead of the frozen chicken?

Yes just readjust the time in the crockpot.

Chicken breast has less cholesterol compared to other parts of the chicken. I like this recipe.

Normally I use only chicken breast when I am cooking for myself but hubby likes the thighs more. This is a very good recipe.

I can't dare put pepper in mine though. I love just making regular b b que chicken in mine. Just add the chicken season it a little and a bottle of sweet baby rays sauce. let it cook down till it falls off the bone and Bam! ready to smack on..

I prefer chicken breast because of the way it shreds when you slow cook it with a sauce. It's just perfect for sandwiches or tacos or whatever you're trying to fill with delicious meat. Nice recipe. Might throw this on this weekend.
