Barbecue Slow Cooker Chicken

If it's too cold to stand outside over the grill, try making barbecue chicken in your slow cooker. The chicken comes out just as moist and tasty without all the work.

I make barbecue chicken in my oven all the time. It's a great idea to do it in the slow cooker. It makes it so tender. I am not so sure about putting butter into the sauce so I left it out. I usually make my own sauce, but have never added Worcestershire sauce before. It gives it a really good flavor.

@bradshawbrd, hello and thanks for the comments! I understand the need for nutritional information. Unfortunately many of these recipes were reader submitted, so we just don't have the information at this time. We hope to work on it. Thanks!

Thanks for everyone's thoughts on this recipe! Sometimes it can be a bit confusing, with so many of our recipes being reader submitted. I think starting with 4 oz and adding the other 4 oz tomato sauce as needed is a great idea. I've updated the recipe to call for 8 oz. Thanks much!

I have worked my entire life in Supermarkets. I have never seen tomato sauce in a 4 oz can. 8 oz is the smallest.

I use 4 oz cans of tomato sauce all the time. You can find it anywhere.

Hi, I would start out with a 4oz. tomato sauce, and taste and if you want a more tomato taste, then add another 4oz. can.....this should be enough....whoever did this recipe should have specified what size....... I haven't made this yet, but I will and I too will start out with a 8oz size.....
