Crock Pot BBQ Smothered Chicken

Submitted by Darlene Summers

"I love my crock pot. It sure makes life easier for me since I started using it. I just wish I had started when I got it. It was a gift from my daughter and her hubby and I let it sit in my pantry for 5 or 6 years before I ever tried to cook in it because I figured I didn't know how to use it. But it is so easy and so convenient. If you have one sitting around, USE IT! You will love it."

I doubled the recipe for my family. The children ate this like there was not tomorrow..they even had 3rds. No left overs here. Thank You for such a good recipe.

I decided to make this one night when my parents were over for dinner. I cooked 3lbs of chicken breast and poured out the juices and fat. I left some water, maybe about a cup, in the bottom of the crockpot. I made 1 1/2 the sauce and the consistency, with the little water left in the pot, was very good. I had to substitute some Lea and Perrins for the Heinz 57. I thought the dish had a good taste but my family was not as keen. They felt it was too tangy. I'd like to make this again but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for how to tone down the tangyness - just a little. I did make a 'pulled' chicken type of sandwich with the leftovers - pretty good! Thanks.

very delicious, I used boneless chicken breast and I added the garlic powder & salt to the chicken before I put it in water and I omitted it in the sauce.My husband and I both loved it. Will definitely keep making. The sauce is tangy and good. I also substittued 1 T.BBQ sauce for the 57 sauce.

I used chicken legs, something I rarely buy, only when it is on sale and than toss it in the freezer. Tossed these in the crockpot still semi-frozen, before I added the sauce I poured out almost all of the fat, than added the sauce. Really good-fall off the bone. My DH thought this would taste really good in a sandwich-alas... there wasn't any left. Thank You Darlene Summers!
