Slow Cooker Barbeque Chicken Recipe

I liked this, but I did with it what I do with another recipe...I put the chicken in plain first (spray crock with cooking spray), let it cook for 3-4 hours on HIGH, DRAIN it, then add the sauce & continue to cook on HIGH for about 30 min. to 1 hr. longer. This way, it isn't too watery! The chicken is so tender made this way, my family loves it.

I pressure cooked it(Slow 1 Hour) I .Added Fresh Garlic and all the other ingredients and( left out Pepper seeds.) After the Hour I placed on a Cookie Sheet and Baked in the oven for another 20 minutes to Crisp it up! It was delicious and I think it may have been the Vinegar My grandmother was "German" and She Always Used Vinegar in her recipes. I like this recipe and will use it again I am Sure.

Directions should be tweaked. 1) Pat each piece of chicken VERY Dry. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Place chicken on a plate w/a few paper towels or rack over a plate or tray. Let sit 12 to 24 hrs uncovered.This will help get that moisture out...Meats are often packed with salt water added. So thr will come out when cooked. OR IF you can afford it, buy air dried chicken. It is pricy...but at least you are not buying water on sale.

Great recipe. Change I have made after making this once: I used "Captain Morgan Spiced Rum " instead of vinegar ( we didn't like the vinegar taste.) Turned out fantastic!! The spiced rum really did the trick. My crock pot ceramic liner had a crack so I put all in a Dutch oven, brought it to a boil on the stove then placed in a 225 degree oven for 5 hours. reminder to self: purchase new crock pot

Wrapped each piece in aluminum foil and it kept chicken moist and infused sauce into chicken. Was fantastic!

The last step is missing to make it Southern style chicken barbeque: remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. The shredded chicken can be mixed with the extra juices to add moisture and flavor. Serve on a bun with cole slaw.

It seemed weird to me that it could cook for 4 - 6 hours. That's a big range! I made only two large chicken breasts so I cut the ingredients for the sauce in half but followed the recipe and cooked it for 5 hours. I used Sonny's Sweet BBQ Sauce and wondered if adding the brown sugar would make it too sweet, but it didn't. It was very yummy. As others have commented, it makes a LOT of sauce and it is very runny. When (not if) I make it again, I will make 1/4 of the sauce for two breasts unless I am serving it with rice or something to sop it up. Hubby liked it and said I should make it again. Not exactly diet food, but what the heck. It was easy and very tasty! We had enough left overs to have pulled chicken on a bun later on.

Followed another reviewer’s suggestion to cook the chicken alone on high and then drain before adding the sauce. Good recipe.

It turned out very good. I would make this again. When making only two chicken breasts use only half the bottle of sauce but if using savory sauce try leaving the amount of brown sugar the same, otherwise cut everything else in half also. I drained the chicken before pouring the sauce over, I basted the chicken a couple of times with the sauce during the last hour of the cooking process.

I followed others suggestions and cooked chicken 1st then drained and addeded bbq sauce with red pepper flakes, garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Did not add br sugar

Did like others recommend, chicken for 4 hrs removed liquid, then added the sauce, but I put the chicken on a bed of chopped onion and saved the stock along with some of the onion and chicken for soup. I also skipped the brown sugar and used fresh chopped garlic instead of powder. We liked that the vinegar and pepper made the sweet baby rays more tangy with more complex flavor.

It was alright but could have been better without the vinegar taste.

We'll see how it goes I'm making it tonight I'll let you know how it takes

So good the crowd loved it!

Made it for friends, they were obsessed.

Goes great with homemade stuffing.

So satisfying — thank you!

This was okay. It did taste a bit vinegary, but other than that, it was nice. I tossed in a carrot and half an onion to fill space as I only had a little bit of BBQ sauce but was only cooking two thighs, so it all worked well. I did follow suggestions of cooking on high for a couple of hours, draining the liquid and proceeding from there. Seemed to work well. Will do again as an easy late working day dinner.

Yes, I never use brown sugar in any recipe. I use the exact same amount of yacon syrup. It is sweet, natural, and zero sugar! One of my husband's favorites! I make a lot of all recipes slow cooker meals. There is enough for 4 meals (I sometimes throw in an extra one or two chicken breasts) and I freeze 3 meals. If I have any leftovers after I unthaw a meal my husband refreezes and takes it for a lunch another day! He say double win.

Perfect balance of flavor and ease.
