I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe yet. One of the few recipes I can truly take credit for creating and it's finally making an appearance on the blog. Maybe because it's not very photogenic? Maybe because it's not very "foodie?" Don't judge. This chicken is delicious and no one cares if you take a night off from kale. It makes dinner a cinch: throw it in the slow cooker, ask your husband to make cornbread and toss some veggies together for a simple, delicious meal.
BBQ Chicken Thighs
6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs*
Sauce:
1/2 bottle bbq sauce - whatever you like
1/4 c mustard
1/4 c honey
dash hot sauce
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
If you like it spicy, toss in a couple chipotles in adobo sauce
Salt and pepper the chicken, mix together the sauce and throw it in the slow cooker for 8 hours or so on low. The chicken will be falling off the bone when it's ready. We like it best with cornbread.
*You can absolutely use thighs with the skin on, but in this recipe I find it creates a lot of fat in the sauce.
I do this with chicken breasts and a variety of sauces (salsa or bbq being my favorite). My favorite way to make shredded chicken!
