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.

Can you put the frozen chicken breasts directly in the crock pot or do you have to thaw them first?

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!!
