Description
This Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken is the ultimate easy dinner! Tender, juicy chicken smothered in the sweet and smoky flavor of Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce. Perfect for a busy weeknight or a weekend BBQ
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or other chicken parts like bone-in or chicken legs)
- 1 (18 oz.) bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce (or any flavor you prefer, including sugar-free)
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, white vinegar, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
- Add Chicken to Crockpot: Place the chicken (breasts, legs, or other cuts) into the crockpot.
- Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. (TIP: Save a little sauce for glazing the chicken right before serving.)
- Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. Chicken legs may cook a bit faster, so check after 4 hours. The chicken is ready when it is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot and glaze with the reserved sauce. Serve hot and enjoy your sweet, smoky chicken!
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add extra red pepper flakes.
- For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce mixture overnight before cooking.
- If you’re using bone-in chicken, it may take slightly longer to cook.
- Serve this with a side of coleslaw or roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
