BBQ Chicken & Corn

I finally figured out how to cook without using the oven (which makes it even hotter in here). Put the crock pot on the front porch! BBQ chicken was just wafting through the community all day long. Our neighbor was moving in behind us, and her friend commented on the great smell. It was one of those summertime dinners that left us all wanting more - not because we were still hungry, but because we just wanted to keep eating it! We all agreed that the garlic really adds so much to the dish. 

BBQ Chicken:

Add to crock pot:

1 head of peeled garlic cloves (about 8)

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, seasoned with salt

1/2 cup of water

1/2 cup of BBQ sauce

Turn it on for 8 hours, low (outside if you like!) 

Remove the chicken and garlic from the pot.

Shred the chicken with two forks (it will just fall apart)

Add 3/4 cup more sauce (homemade or from the jar, not from the pot)

Save the juice from the pot in the fridge, or freeze to use later. (I'll probably be doing something with it in the next few days)

When I went to the grocery store I stood there looking at the BBQ sauces, thinking about whether or not to make my own. I opted to buy my favorite brand, partly because I'm literally tired from all this heat, and partly because I love this brand. It's called Bone Suckin' Sauce (http://www.bonesuckin.com/). They are gluten-free, and they don't use high fructose corn syrup. In fact, it's all the same ingredients I would use if I had made my own! It cost about $5 and I used about 2/3 of the jar. Not bad I think.
