Questions & Replies

  1. Does it have vinegar taste? I am not fond of vinegar?
     
  2. Can I double this recipe? If I can, how much cooking time should I add? Thank you!
     
  3. I am making skinless barbeque chicken thighs w/ bone in & I have forgotten to spray the inside of my crockpot, I've also skinned the thighs myself. Will this be ok ? How long do you think I should cook them for ? Thank You for your answers in advance !
     
  4. If you opt of just using 2 chicken breast how much does the recipe change and will it change the cooking time?

  1. Hubby & family absolutely LOVED this!! I set 3 huge FROZEN boneless skinless breasts into the crockpot.... then heavily covered them with sweet baby ray's honey bbq sauce, poured a 1/4 lemon juice into the bottom, then covered all the bbq sauce with brown sugar & garlic powder. 4 hours later: DELISH !!!! Served it with lotsa mashed sweet potatoes & peas. Mmmmmm {ps. I have been putting frozen chicken into our crockpot here for dinners for over 25 years now and no one has ever ever ever gotten sick.}
     
  2. A good recipe. I used boneless chicken breasts (not frozen). Every slow cooker/crockpot book of directions I have ever read and a few others on food safety on line have said that meats should not be cooked in a crockpot/slow cooker from the frozen state (especially chicken) because the gradual heat of this method of cooking creates a dangerous environment for allowing bacteria to multiply when meat is frozen. Adelle Davis, whose cookbooks promote healthy and slow cooking in the oven, noted that even large cuts of meat from the fridge should be cooked for an hour at 300 (120 C) before being reduced to finishing temperature (180 F), in order to prevent surface bacterial growth.
     
  3. Used everything except Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce, first ingredient HFCS? Yeah I don't think so. Plenty of healthy BBQ's in stores now.
     
  4. Easy to make. Delicious. I added 1/3 cup honey to the sauce to sweeten it up a little. YUM!!!
     
  5. I added a tablespoon of Horseradish sauce to spice it up , teaspoon of black pepper. Made brown rice and steamed veggies to go with it

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
