My family and I love BBQ Chicken.  There’s nothing quite like starting the grill up, using your favorite BBQ sauce and cooking your chicken breast to a sweet and smoky perfection.  Unless of course, you forgot that the grill was out of propane.  Been there, done that!  That’s why I came up with this easy and delicious Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken recipe.  In fact, I made mine as a Freezer Meal, when I picked up my last stocked up Chicken when it was on sale, I prepped two of easy slow cooker BBQ chicken meals.

  1. Normally, I will just add brown sugar to my barbecue sauce mix. But, I will definitely try the Apple Cider Vinegar and Garlic powder to see how it tastes. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Sounds good and easy. I have a similar recipe, but it doesn’t have apple cider vinegar in it. Although, the pork chop recipe in my crockpot at this very moment does.

  3. Where have I been. I did not know you could make bbq chicken in the slow cooker. Thank you for sharing.

  4. I try to use my slow cooker as often as possible in the summer, rather than use my oven and heat up the house! This chicken sounds wonderful! I’ll be trying out your recipe very soon! Thanks for sharing.
