• 4-6 chicken breasts with bones in
• 1 bottle of your choice of BBQ sauce (made with sugar rather than corn syrup)
• ¼ c vinegar
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• ¼ c brown sugar
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Place the meat in the crockpot.  Mix together the other ingredients and cook for 4-6 hours on low.

Note:  This recipe can be rather unhealthy if you use a BBQ sauce containing corn syrup.  Most commercial sauces actually do use corn syrup rather than sugar, honey, etc.  Sweet Baby Ray's brand includes corn syrup.  To make this healthier, you can make your own sauce and substitute honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar.  I post this one as a delicious and easy way to make BBQ chicken.
