So my DH invited guests over for bbq w/ a 2 hours notice. We ran out of propane, so I had to think out of the box. I always do my pulled pork or chicken sandwiches in the crockpot, so I was honestly wondering how this would turn out. I made exactly as directed except I cooked a little of 2 lbs of chicken, so I adjusted ingredients accordingly. I didn't have any liquid smoke, so I used up a bit of bottled chipotle bbq sauce I had on hand. I also thinly sliced the onion & let them simmer in with the chicken breasts along with a splash of apple cider vinegar. This was so good & it turned out so well... Nothing was left. The guys stuffed themselves silly & were raving. This sauce is a perfect blend of sweet/spicy. Thank you for a very easy & quick way to make these. This recipe is a keeper!

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I really enjoyed it! I like the fact that this recipe didn't call for vinegar. I think the tomato sauce rendered sufficient acidity. Since my husband cannot really handle too much spice, I only used 1 garlic clove and 1/8 c minced onions but it was still great! I didn't have grill seasoning on hand so I just used a mixture of Emeril's Essence, Old Bay Seasoning, seasoned salt, garlic powder and kosher salt. Oh, and I didn't use flour. After simmering for quite a while, the sauce became thick enough for me. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
