Barbecue Chicken

I don’t know about you, but my boys love anything with BBQ sauce.  Even though it is probably due to the high content of ketchup, I still think it is a good way for them to get some protein.  It honestly doesn’t get easier and more delicious than this slow cooker barbecue chicken.  Only ten minutes to make the sauce, and  the slow cooker does the rest.  Well, besides the coleslaw.  The chicken is fall-apart tender and juicy, bursting with delicious sweet and savory flavors. This is the perfect hearty Sunday dinner in the colder months.  I usually serve it with some mac n’ cheese or cornbread.  Enjoy!
