Slow cookers are, by far, one of the best inventions in the field of cooking. Talk about a perfect lazy Friday night, when you don't feel like cooking and just want dinner to be made already! We made this last weekend and it was fabulous. It may be blasphemy to say this, but I think I liked the chicken better than the pork. I know. It's that good.
One package of bone-in chicken thighs. (however much you with think you will need)
1/4-1/3 cup chopped onion
1-2 cloves of garlic
Barbecue sauce (we like Sweet Baby Ray's)
Grilling seasoning (we used Apple wood seasoning but you can use whatever, or make your own)
Chop up the onions and garlic and add to the crockpot. Place on high.
Take the skin off of the chicken thighs. Lightly coat the chicken thighs in the grilling seasoning and rub in. Place the chicken, one layer at a time, into the crockpot. Between each layer, cover with a generous amount of barbecue sauce. Continue this process for the rest of the chicken. Let it cook for about 4 hours on high, or until you can easily pull off the bone.
When ready to be pulled, take a ladle and spoon of about 1 1/2 or more of the liquid. This is mostly fat or unnecessary liquid that will make your chicken soupy. When tender and falling off the bone, take each piece out and pull the meat off the bone with a couple forks. Do this until all thighs are pulled. Put the meat back into the crockpot and add one cup of the barbecue sauce. Put on low for about 15 mins to a half an hour.
Enjoy! Especially good paired with sweet potato fries :)
