Zesty BBQ Crockpot Chicken image

You can use any cut of chicken you would like, but I prefer thighs and legs because they layer in the Crockpot quite nicely. Also, you can use jarred mild salsa instead of making the zesty bbq sauce. I make the sauce in large batches and freeze it for later use.

Categories     Chicken

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c ketchup
3 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground mustard (i use yellow prepared if out of the ground)
1 clove garlic, finally chopped
2 Tbsp chopped onion
VERIATIONS
1 can(s) green chiles (mild), or rotel tomatoes.
8-10 10-12 chicken legs depending on your preference.

Steps:

  • 1. Heat all ingredients to boiling in saucepan over medium heat, except chicken, (If adding green chiles or rotel tomatoes, add them at this time also), stirring constantly, reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. I double and quadruple this recipe so I can freeze portions of it to use later. I take one serving out of the freezer the day before I intend to use it to let it defrost. Or zap until defrosted.
  • 2. Layer chicken thighs in crock pot pouring a little of the bbq sauce on top of each layer. Dump remaining sauce over top of chicken layers.
  • 3. Put lid on crock pot, set on low and forget about it until dinner time! Should cook on low setting in 6 to 8 hours. Chicken will be done in about 4 hours if high setting is used.
  • 4. I fix some rice to go with the chicken and sauce.Spoon out chicken and sauce over rice. Top with a little shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and/or some chopped green onions according to your family's taste. A large jar of mild salsa can be used in place of the BBQ sauce. Enjoy!

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the chicken and the sauce, and they don't even notice the vegetables that are hidden in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I served it with rice and broccoli, and it was a delicious meal.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this dish during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's always a hit with my family.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I just throw everything in the crockpot in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is perfect. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the chicken always turns out perfectly. I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to the sauce for a little extra kick.
