Description

This slow cooker BBQ chicken is an easy and delicious dish perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized cubes, boneless thighs also work)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • cooked white rice (for serving)
  • diced scallions (for serving)
  • toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Coat a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes; sprinkle over the chicken pieces.
  3. Place in the slow cooker in a single layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, orange marmalade, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and chili garlic sauce.
  5. Pour sauce mixture over the chicken and toss to coat, making sure the chicken is covered with the sauce.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through and tender. (Mine is usually done in 4 hours.)
  7. Spoon chicken and some of the sauce over cooked white rice or fried rice. Garnish with diced scallions and a touch of toasted sesame seeds.

Notes
