Good Day folks,
We are still in the holiday recovery mode here in the Hinterlands. Setting up for the coming new year, having family in and out and just generally going through the process of starting 2016. Given all this, I am opting for a short cut on kid friendly meals and this Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken is a great one.
I had stopped in at Costco a while back and picked up a pair of whole chickens to put in the freezer for a future meal. I took one out and thawed it in a salt brine for a couple of days, to prepare it for this meal. My grandsons were coming in for a weekend stay, and they like BBQ, so it’s a win win. The process is simple, and once you put it in the slow cooker ,you just have to de-bone it when it’s done, and you are ready to eat.
Ready Set GO!

Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 medium onion

- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
- ½ teaspoon coco powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt brine
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 4 + cups water
Instructions
- Thaw the chicken. You can thaw it in a salt brine in the refrigerator if you want to. I brine chicken so that it stays moist while cooking, this works no matter which cooking method you use.
- Put together your dry rub and Store it in a air tight container until you are ready to use it.
- After the chicken is thawed take it out of the brine and pat it dry, place it back in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to finish drying out.
- Cut up the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Dry rub the chicken and make sure you get some inside the cavity.

- Set your Slow cooker on low and cook for 8 hours or set on high for 6 hours. Cook until the internal temp of the chicken is above 165°.

- Add in the BBQ sauce of your choice a little at a time and mix in, try not to let it be too wet.
- Set on low and allow it to cook for another 30 minutes.

A shortcut meal can still benefit from a little structure, especially when family schedules are busy. Slow cooking works well for this kind of dish because the preparation can be handled earlier and the serving time is less demanding. For a kid-friendly result, it may help to keep the sauce balanced and offer simple sides that let everyone adjust the meal to their preference. That makes convenience compatible with a more flexible dinner table.

Holiday recovery and the start of a new year can make elaborate meal planning feel unrealistic, especially with family coming and going. A slow-cooker BBQ chicken dish fits that situation well because it keeps preparation manageable while still offering a familiar, kid-friendly dinner. It also sounds flexible enough for sandwiches, baked potatoes, or a simple plate with vegetables, so one batch could cover different preferences without requiring several separate meals.
