BBQ beer chicken

I have been on a roll….three straight nights of new recipes and they were all good. I finally remembered to get a photo so I am sharing the one from tonight. The other two are definitely worth a repeat so stay tuned. 🙂

It doesn’t get any easier than throwing meat, sauce and spices in the slow cooker, set it on low and come back in eight hours to eat. The meat was falling-apart tender and great flavor from cooking all day. The beer and barbecue sauce make a great base and I could definitely taste the spices. I added a little Cayenne pepper for some spice.

I made a relatively small amount as dinner for the two of us. If you needed a casual main entree for a potluck or family gathering this would be an excellent choice. Cole slaw worked very well as a side.

Sadly we are about to the end of our grilling/outdoor BBQ season here so it was a good way to use up some leftover sauce. I do love that sweet, tangy flavor.
