Words cannot express how EASY this barbecue chicken is to make or how utterly delicious it tastes when done. Normally, recipes this easy do not taste like you cooked all day. This recipe defies hat theory. All you need is a package of chicken thighs and a bottle of barbecue sauce. Ready for this? I even used frozen chicken. That’s right…no thawing ahead, no preplanning. Nothing!
Barbecue Chicken Recipe
1 package chicken thighs (or parts you like)
1 bottle barbecue sauce (I used Stubb’s!!!)
Place chicken in crock pot. Pour on bbq sauce. Add a little water to bottle, shake and pour on chicken just to get all the sauce out! Cook on high for 6 1/2 hours. When finished, I placed the thighs in a broiler safe pan and broiled just to brown the skin abut 5-10 mins. Watch carefully!
*optional: add sliced red onion with the bbq sauce!
Camille says
was just wondering how many pieces of chicken you used. You said one package but you didn’t give the weight or number.
Brenda says
Depending on the size of your slow cooker you should be able to fit 6 to eight pieces of chicken in…2 lbs maybe 3.
Tracy says
Should that say cook on low for 6 hours or is it high? I was thinking on high for that long would be too much.
Karen says
I’m thinking since the chicken is frozen maybe it is on high for 6 hours
Brenda says
There is no need to thaw the chicken to start this so that is why the cooking is on high fort 6 hours.
Carol says
Recipe says HIGH for 6.5 hrs from frozen.
Betty says
Why is there no nutritional information? This is vital to a lot of people. With that much barbecue sauce I would think that the carbs and sugar are a little on the high side.

This is not a nutritional information website. There are apps that provide that info for you.

Bridget Ferrebee says

Lorie says
I found this recipe after I already had thawed my chicken so I am wondering how long to cook the chicken if it is already thawed?

Try low instead of high
