Crock-tober: BBQ Chicken


I have a secret.


Yesterday, I did not own a Crockpot.


Tonight, I want to run off to Bora Bora with it.


Head over heels in L-O-V-E.


Why did I wait so long?


No clue.


 

I'd been pinning lots of yummy slow cooker recipes.


With no slow cooker.


Pointless pins.


Until today.


Hamilton-Beach black and silver beauty.


Welcome to your new home.


Sorry to make you work so soon.


 

I have another secret.


I listen to Jay-Z.


While slow cooking.


"You should know that I bleed blue.  But I ain't a Crip, yo..."


 

Ready for the recipe?


We just had it for dinner.


It's a good one.


And ridiculously easy.


As I imagine every slow cooker recipe is.


I think I might slow cook every day for the rest of my life.


In Bora Bora.


 

Original recipe here.



4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


1 bottle BBQ sauce (I used Kraft).


1/4 cup white vinegar


1 tsp. red pepper flakes


1/4 cup brown sugar


1 tsp. garlic powder



Dump ingredients (sans chicken) in slow cooker.


Stir.



Add chicken and coat in sauce.


Cook on low 4-6 hours.


Done.


And delicious.

  1. you are "slow" to hop on the train of good cooking and good jams.
    you give "slow" cooker and "slow" jams a new meaning.

    i think you should skip bora bora, take a bus trip and bring your slow cooker to


    NEWWW YORRRRRRRRK.

  4. My crock pot is old and ghetto.
    I'm jealous of your new, shiny one.
    I may have to ask Santa for a new one.
    And that chicken looks goooooooood.

  5. should i get mine out of the garage? i don't know. i'm confused by the whole thing, to be honest. i don't understand the whole lack of exactness...i mean 4-6 hours? a range of time for cooking chicken doesn't compute in my brain. i know. i need help.

  8. Last thanksgiving my cousin cooked the turkey in a double-sized slow-cooker. It was amazing. I, however, have not yet jumped on the crock-wagon.

  21. [...] I tried a recipe from Jessica last month. In October, she posted an easy recipe for CrockPot BBQ Chicken.  I’ve had a crockpot for quite some time and I barely use it. I thought this simple recipe [...]
