Easy Crock Pot Barbeque Pulled Chicken


Have you ever made your own barbecue sauce? I find it a fantastic alternative the most bottled sauces, which often contain high fructose corn syrup and/or preservatives. This recipe is extremely simple (and delicious!) despite the fact that you are making your sauce. Just mix together, throw into a crock pot, and wait. Crock pot meals are always fantastic because they won't heat up your kitchen like an oven, and they make your house smell amazing for hours.

Ingredients
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1/4 C honey
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 large chicken breasts
rolls

Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix together tomato sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, cumin, ground mustard, and salt.
2. Put chicken in the crock pot. Scatter onion pieces on the top, and then pour the sauce on top of that.
3. Turn crock pot on low for 8 hours. (Or high for 4 hours, if you're short on time.)
4. Scoop the chicken out of the crock pot and into a bowl. Shred it with 2 forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the crock pot and stir into the sauce.
5. Serve meat in rolls, sandwich style, directly before serving.

Barbecued chicken

One of my favorite dinners is barbecued  chicken. I love when the sauce is cooked on in the oven. It is really easy to make your own sauce at home and it tastes so much better and is so much better for you.

Ingredients:
3/4 C ketchup or tomato sauce
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
1/4 C honey or brown sugar
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T soy sauce
1 clove of garlic minced
1/4 tsp dried ginger
1/2 tsp dried mustard
3 T dehydrated onions

2 lbs of chicken uncooked

Directions: Heat oven to 350 Serves about 6
1. Pour everything but the chicken in a small saucepan on medium heat. Cook while stirring about 10 min. (The longer the sauce cooks the better the flavor.so let it cook longer on low if your time allows.)   You want it nice and thick.
2. Place chicken in a 13 x 9 greased pan. Spread sauce over the chicken.
3. Cover with foil and bake about 45 min or until done. .
