Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

Lightly adapted from Food Thinkers
Serves 2 with lots of leftovers or 4 with very few

• 2 to 4 chicken breasts and/or leg quarters, skin removed, bones optional
• 385g | 1 1/2 cups ketchup¹
• 40g | 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 20g | 1 tbsp Worcestershire
• 15g | 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2g |1 tsp crushed red chili flakes
• 1g |1/2 tsp garlic powder

Mix up everything but the chicken in a small bowl. Arrange chicken in one layer on the bottom of a 4 - 6 qt slow cooker and pour the sauce over evenly. Cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Remove bones if necessary and shred chicken well. Mix shredded chicken with sauce well then serve.

Notes:

1. Ketchup manufacturers are FINALLY seeing the light! Hunts now proudly exclaims that their ketchup contains no high fructose corn syrup. Heinz has about three different types of ketchup that are really good - Simply Heinz, Reduced Sugar Heinz (uses Splenda), and Organic Heinz (which tastes the best, in my opinion). Using a not-so-sweet ketchup is key to a great sauce.
