Slow Cooker Zesty Barbecue Chicken

I love slow cooker recipes. Just dump in the ingredients. Set the temperature. And in a few hours, bam! Delicious dinner with minimal effort.

One of the first slow cooker recipes I ever tried was recommended to me by a family friend: Zesty Barbecue Chicken. All it took was one bite, and I was hooked. I’ve made this recipe more times than I can count. And you can bet that I’m going to keep on making it because it’s so versatile.

Seriously. The chicken just melts in your mouth.

And let me tell you something else about this magical chicken recipe.

It freezes.

I’ve done months of frozen meals before, and this recipe is a staple. You just toss everything into a Ziploc bag. Shake it around. Seal it and freeze it. It’ll stay good for up to 6 months.

And when you’re ready to cook, just run some warm water over it to thaw. Then it will be good to go into the slow cooker.

And know what’s even better?

You can use this recipe with just about anything. It’s great for sandwiches. It’s great for burritos. It’s great as a side dish. It’s great inside steamed buns. Really it’s just great.
