Slow Cooker Burnt Honey Barbecue Chicken

Slow Cooker Burnt Honey Barbecue Chicken

When it's so blazing hot outside that you can't bear the thought of firing up the grill, this no-fuss slow-cooker barbecue chicken recipe will come to the rescue. A quick sear in a cast-iron skillet awakens the flavors of the herbs and spices and gives the chicken a nice crust that makes the finished barbecue taste more authentic. The real star here is the burnt honey barbecue sauce; added just before serving, it retains a distinct honey flavor that balances this tangy-sweet chicken perfectly.
