Crock Pot BBQ Chicken

I know, I know, it’s been a couple days since I posted. And the truth is that I made this meal last week. It has been a crazy weekend trying to get everything done so that we can relax before the baby gets here.

Here is the original website for this recipe: http://forkinit.blogspot.com/2010/09/crockpot-barbecue-chicken.html

It is a pretty self-explanatory recipe and the steps are really easy. It turned out great.

Sorry for no pictures, but the original blog website has a couple of pictures if you really need the pictures to know if this is a good recipe or not.

Crock Pot BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

*2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, frozen (I only used 2 because there is only 2 of us, but you could use as many as you need.)
*1 bottle BBQ sauce
*1/4 cup vinegar
*Red pepper flakes
*1/4 cup brown sugar
*Garlic powder
*Onion powder

 

Directions:

1. In a bowl mix BBQ sauce with vinegar, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, garlic powder and onion powder. (I don’t measure my spices so I don’t have an exact measurement of how much garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes I used.)
2. Place chicken in the crock pot.
3. Pour sauce over chicken inside the crock pot.
4. Cover crock pot and turn on low for 4-6 hours.
5. Enjoy!

What did I think about this recipe?

As I said above, this is a really simple recipe. I actually do this same thing with ribs all the time, but had never done it with chicken.

The chicken will fall apart if you put too much pressure on it. My husband and I both cut into the chicken to see if it was done all the way through and wound up cutting our chicken in half.

I really like red pepper so next time I may add a bit more than I did this time. You could pretty much add whatever seasonings you want to this though as it is a pretty foolproof recipe.

I used to make chicken like this all the time in the oven back in San Diego, but with our oven here, that is just not an option so this is a great alternative to that.

This recipe will be added to our frequently made list since as we were eating it, my husband asked me why everything tastes better from a crock pot.

The biggest thing I figured out is that I really need 2 crock pots so that I can cook both my main dish and my side at the same time. I was thinking this would be the perfect side: http://danielleoxley.blogspot.com/2012/07/ok-so-anyone-who-knows-my-husband.html
