JOHN'S CROCK POT CRANBERRY CHICKEN



John's Crock Pot Cranberry Chicken image

A delicious recipe for the upcoming fall season. I like using chicken thighs rather than breasts in the crock pot as they stand up better to the longer cooking and add more flavor to the dish. Do not overcook the thighs. Six hours is about as long a cooking time as you'll need. I actually use a little less time. This recipe was posted by Wolverine on the TOHBB.

1 cup barbecue sauce
1 small onion, finely chopped

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender. Serve with rice. Freeze option: Cover and freeze cooled chicken and sauce in freezer containers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you use chicken with bones, you'll need to increase the cooking time.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the slow cooker will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of cranberries: Fresh, frozen, or dried cranberries can be used in this recipe. If you're using fresh cranberries, be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help to balance out the tartness of the cranberries. You can also add other sweet ingredients, such as pineapple or apples.
  • Don't forget the spices: A variety of spices can be used to flavor this dish. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Cook on low for best results: Cooking the chicken on low for 6-8 hours will help to keep it moist and tender. If you cook it on high, the chicken may become dry and overcooked.

Conclusion:

This Crock Pot Cranberry Chicken recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic comfort food dish. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with cranberries, orange juice, and spices. The result is a moist and tender chicken that is perfect for serving with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
