I can't remember were this recipe came from, but I've been making it for several years. Everyone who tries it enjoys it. When the chicken is done cooking, it's so tender it falls off the bone.-Mrs. Patricia Weir, Chilliwack, British Columbia

OMG~THIS WAS SO GOOD. Family was very firm w/ "MAKE THIS AGAIN and DON'T CHANGE A THING". OK..BUT Here's what I will do different... -reserve a good portion of the sauce for after cooking.. because there was plenty for doing that and the juice from the chicken cooking thinned the sauce considerably.

This is from Taste of Home Slow Cooker Hot and Hearty Classics. It makes a lot of sauce (about 2 Cups) which is great if serving over noodles or rice. In my case, I was serving it with a side of vegetables so I would reduce the sauce for that reason. I did make one change to this recipe and that was to cook just the chicken for 2 hours, then I drained the fat and added the sauce, but you can do whatever you like.
