This turned out sweet and delicious! I loved it and will definitely make this recipe again! I modified the recipe slightly by shredding pre-cooked leftovers from a chicken I roasted. I also substituted regular brown sugar for Splenda and chili powder for the red pepper flakes. Instead of using all ketchup I used half ketchup (Heinz) and half barbeque sauce (Cattlemen's Master's Reserve Memphis Sweet BBQ Sauce).Reply

Made this for dinner tonight. I partially cooked my chicken breasts in my crock pot then spooned off the liquid. I then added the sauce which I quadrupled since there are 6 of us in the family. I cooked the chicken and sauce on high for one hour and then 6 hours on low. I did not realize that I was out of cider vinegar, so I subbed red wine vinegar and I doubled the amount of red pepper flakes. Everyone in the family enjoyed this...including my daughter who normally does not care for BBQ. This is a recipe I will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made and reviewed for the Spring 2011 PAC.Reply
