Easy BBQ Chicken (Crockpot Homecooking)

Bear got home around 10:30pm last night, so I didn't make have to make dinner (hurray!). I also have a cold. When he got home I finally started thinking about lunch the next day but it was too late. So I turned to my trusty slowcooker that can do the work for me while I sleep (double hurray!).

Surprisingly once I gave up trying to make edible pulled pork in this machine, I've actually used it for some delicious meals. When I first bought my crockpot I had dreams that it would prepare all my meals and life would be a breeze. Then reality hit. Food was bland and had the consistency of wet saw dust. For the past two years, this crockpot has seen some terrible times (mostly because I was trying to make pulled pork with recipes off the internet that involved making my own rub and kept adding a mix of ingredients in the hopes it would taste better. It didn't.).

Then, I figured it out - cook on low heat. Since then I have made delicious 갈비탕 (rib bone soup)....and today, BBQ chicken. 




Easy BBQ Chicken (Slow cooker/ Crockpot)

Chicken thighs boneless
Chicken broth
BBQ sauce

1. Emerge chicken in chicken broth until just covered. 
2. Mix in some BBQ to give meat and broth flavour.  
3. Cook low 4 - 4.5 hours. 
4. Drain broth and mix in more BBQ sauce to taste. 

Finally a slow cooker chicken recipe that works. And I didn't have a recipe. I just made it up. I don't know what is more surprising. 

Lunch? No problem!
