Chicken

Sweet and Tangy Chicken

8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, divided
2 (18 ounce) bottles prepared barbecue sauce
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Place 4 of the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, pineapple, green bell pepper, onion and garlic. Mix well and pour half of this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Place the remaining chicken in the slow cooker and top with the remaining sauce. Cook on low setting for 8 to 9 hours.

 

Chicken

Honey Barbecue Chicken

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
18 oz bottle Honey Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup Italian Salad Dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Place chicken in a slow cooker. Combine the barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce and pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. Remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and coat with sauce. Serve on rolls for sandwiches.

 

Chicken, With Beer

BBQ Beer Chicken

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 large)
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces of beer (I used a classic amber)
32 ounces of barbecue sauce

Season chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add to crock-pot, then add beer and 24 ounces of barbecue sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours, tossing once or twice if desired. After 8 hours, shred and add remaining barbecue sauce. Toss chicken to coat and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to absorb everything. Serve as desired.

Notes from original chef:

1. I’ve found that *thinner* barbecue sauce works better (such as Bone Suckin’ Sauce) than thicker sauce (like Sweet Baby Ray’s). If you choose to use a thicker sauce, you may want to add a little more beer (or liquid) in order for the sauce not to burn and thicken on the edges of the pot. This is also the reason I don’t use my homemade barbecue sauce.

2. If you don’t want to use beer, you can try a ginger ale, chicken stock, or even water.

3. This makes a ton of chicken and I usually immediately freeze a container for later.
