Ms. D's Honey BBQ Chicken


BBQ Chicken.... Yum! How about making it yourself? Even yummier! I made this last weekend when I was on my cooking tri-athalon. I have other things to put in order this weekend. Tops on the list will be more tomatoes out of the garden, but first things first.... catching up on my blog. 

If you haven't yet dedicded on what to fix for your weekend get together with your family... or you need just one more thing for the "carry-in" this is it! It's one of those easy throw together and leave it to do it on thing, kind of thing. lol...! Here's what you need:


~ set your crock pot to HIGH
~ Catchup
~ about a 1/2 cup or so of honey
~ salt and pepper to taste
~ Cinnamon, dash
~ Ground Ginger, dash
~ Paprika, dash
~ 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
~ 1/2 of a large Onion, rough chopped
~ 3 or 4 Cloves of minced Garlic
~ Cayenne Pepper, dash (optional)
~ 3 or 4 medium Chicken Breasts thawed and cut into strips or chunks

In a 2-quart sized crock pot add all of the above ingredients minus the chicken. Stir and taste. Add a dash more of your ingredients to bring it to a taste you are happy with. I have made this so many times that I KNOW the taste I am after. I just start adding a little of this and a little more of that until I arrive at that PERFECT taste. Go sparingly with the cinnamon. I say that and then in the video below, I accidentally added the cinnamon twice. Oh well, all is good... I added the Cayenne Pepper and of course that makes everything all right! Can I get an AMEN?! lol... I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the sweet/hot combo.

When you are satisfied with your BBQ, drop in your chicken, making sure your crock pot is on High and walk away. Since you are making a relativly small amount in a smaller crock pot the cook time is not quite as long. 2 /12 to 3 hours the chicken is usuall done. In this video by the time we got around to eating it, it was closer to 4 hours and it was WELL done.

* As a side note... the kids at school this year are calling me Ms. D. I thought naming one of my recipes for them would be a nice tribute. Hugs to all my Elwood Haynes buddies!


Enjoy!
