Sweet Barbecue Chicken is an easy crockpot recipe. The slow cooker leaves the chicken moist & tender. Leave the work to your crockpot, sit back & enjoy.
Our family loves barbecue chicken! Loves! Especially my two daughters, Jordan (8) and Jersey (5). Besides sesame chicken, this is the favorite meal. The only requirement is that it must have lots of sauce, no dried out chicken here. Even a barbecue dry rub isn’t a hit, there must be a sauce.
My favorite part of eating barbecue chicken with my kids is their messy faces, so cute! What I don’t love is their messy fingers and the fact they touch everything, therefore transferring the sauce onto most things around them. I love trying out new recipes for barbecue chicken. I tried this one recently and it was a hit!
From our messy faces to yours, enjoy our favorite barbecue chicken crockpot recipe.

I love BBQ chicken. It looks fantastic.
Which sweet baby ray sauce do you use? There’s different varieties. I usually buy the honey bbq one but for this recipe should I be using the original one?
Krystal – yes, use the original. The honey is oh, so good for it would make it a little too sweet. Come back and let me know what you think. xo San
