It has been a few days since I have posted a new recipe, but not to fear because I have several in the works. This recipe (which my mom made) for Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken is so yummy, and tender! Hot Summer days call for a good slow cooked meal, and this one should not disappoint. It can’t get any easier than dumping a bunch of ingredients in a slow cooker, and turning it on! This particular recipe was adapted from Stick A Fork In It. We served this dish with the Olive and Hint of Jalapeno Creamed Corn, that I shared recently.

Will be trying this one!
Can you put the frozen chicken breasts directly in the crock pot or do you have to thaw them first?
This looks really tasty! I will definitely give it a try. I love cooking with the crockpot.
Looks Yummy!
I want to try this recipe. Have a slow cooker but haven’t used it yet.
This looks so yummy, will be trying it soon!
I make crock pot bbq chicken often. I recommend softening the onion in the microwave or sauté it in a little oil in a skillet. The chicken cooks faster than the onion and the sauce will have a raw onion taste. I chop the oven and put it in the microwave for a minute or so, just until it starts to look translucent.
I meant chop the onion, not oven!!
Thanks for the great tip!
