A Full Dinner Couldn't Be Easier

Barbecue chicken just screams summer!  And these crock pot BBQ chicken thighs not only take just 5 to 7 minutes to prep, they only take 6 ingredients too.  And that's the whole dinner, veggies and all 🙂

Wash your veggies, toss everything in the slow cooker in layers and walk away!  Well, you'd best put the lid on and turn on the crockpot too, but really that's it!  There is no work before prep work nor any extra steps before supper.  Walk in, dish it up and serve.  Dinner's all in one pot!


Most grocery stores have these pre-seasoned chicken thighs.  They have legs too, but this recipe is about chicken thighs.  So we'll focus on those.  I've never actually bought them before this recipe.  But I wanted chicken and they were running a sale on the pre-seasoned thighs.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken

I guess someone in the meat department got happy with the shaker.  Every piece of chicken in the department was seasoned.  I kid you not.  And there was a LOT of chicken too.  So preseasoned bbq chicken thighs for the crock pot it was.

You Can Make Your Own BBQ Rub too!

If you'd rather make your own rub, that's completely cool.  I've done it several times in the past.  I've just never written it down.  This video by Badass BBQ Rub is an awesome choice.

I've used this recipe a couple times before.  It's yummy!


Bone-In Chicken With the Skin is Your Best Bet Most Times

Chicken's an awesome crockpot meat.  BUT a key that most folks don't know...and I sure didn't a few years ago...is that boneless, skinless chicken anything is really hard to keep juicy in the crockpot.  The bone and the skin both help the chicken remain very tender and juicy.  That leads to yummy results and satisfied bellies.  So it's a great choice.

If you're a busy person and use the slow cooker to help you out there, your best bet it most likely bone-in chicken with the skin.  If you don't like the skin or don't eat it for dietary reasons, just pull it off before you eat it.  There's enough of this sauce that makes it to the skin for it to still be delish!
