Workin' hard for the crock.

Since my other half can't go to work, I put him to work...on dinner. Ok, not really. He grilled us some ribs last night and I used the rest of his bbq sauce for some bbq chicken today.

"Spicy Smoky BBQ chicken" (6 quart pot)

~4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

~the bbq sauce my other half made*

Place chicken in crock pot.

Dump bbq sauce on top.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Shred with forks.

I served this with sautéed string beans (From the CSA.)

*The sauce: (Makes 2 1/2 c.)

~2 T dark brown sugar

~1/2 cup cider vinegar 

~2 T Worcestershire sauce

~1 T yellow mustard

~2 T honey

~2 c ketchup

~2 tablespoons Spicy Chicago Rub**

~1 t cayenne pepper

~1 t liquid smoke

Combine all ingredients in large saucepan. Stir well. Over medium heat, bring to boil;

reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally as it cooks. Store in

refrigerator. Keeps for several weeks.

**Spicy Chicago Rub (Makes 3/4 c.) We use this rub when we grill steaks. It's our go-to and it's fabulous.

~1 T black pepper

~1/4 c paprika

~1 T salt

~2 T chili powder

~1 T onion powder

~1 T garlic powder

~1 T dried parsley

~1/3 c brown sugar

Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight container.

Spicy, smoky, BBQ chicken. Need I say more?
