Ingredients
 

  • 1kg chicken pieces of your choice
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 heaped tsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (no sugar version as I used or regular if you prefer)

Instructions
 

  • Place raw chicken directly into slow cooker
  • Top with sliced onion
  • Combine all other ingredients and pour over chicken
  • Cook on LOW for 4hrs

Notes

  • I turned them twice during cooking to get a lovely rich colour all over
  • To stop it being too watery: As I lift the lid I make sure I direct the run off of water under the lid into the sink instead of back in the cooking bowl.

  • Mine did not need any flour for thickening and the end result was a lovely syrupy sauce
  • Cooked in a 7L Breville slow cooker
