SLOW COOKER BBQ CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2 lbs chicken thighs and chicken legs
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon cumin
1 Tablespoon ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons brown sugar (I added one more tablespoon for a sweeter rub)
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
Olive Oil spray
Your favorite BBQ Sauce (I’m using Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce)
Our crockpot bbq chicken recipe is super easy and starts with dusting 2 pounds of chicken legs and chicken thighs with the dry rub. To make the dry rub, mix the dry spices together. Taste a little bit of the mixture to see if you like the combination of flavors. I like a slightly more sweet bbq rub for our chicken, so I’ve added a one more tablespoon of brown sugar. If you like a spicier bbq chicken, add a bit more chili powder, black pepper or a touch of cayenne pepper.
Prepare the crockpot with a coating of spray oil.
Dust the chicken thighs and chicken legs with the rub, and layer it into the prepared crockpot. Drizzle on the Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce, and spread it gently over the chicken using a basting brush or the back of a spoon. Don’t add additional liquid to the slow cooker, the chicken will release juices as it cooks.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2 ½ to 3 hours until the chicken is cooked through or reaches an internal temperature of 165F. After the chicken is done cooking in the slow cooker, I add a little more bbq sauce and pop it under the broiler or onto the grill for a few minutes to crisp the skin.
If you’re taking this crockpot barbecue chicken to a potluck or picnic, you can cook the chicken in the crockpot or slow cooker until it’s finished, then take the chicken to your event and finish it on the grill there!
Thank you so much for watching! I’ll see you in the next video!

Thank you for watching! I hope you love this recipe!
Looks amazing. For approx how many minutes did you have them in the oven? 5?
Yes, just like 3 - 5 minutes in my oven, with the broiler on high and the rack at the highest setting. Hope you enjoy 😊
I'm new to your CZcams channel I want to try this
💚💚
This is in my sc right now😁
Yum, hope you enjoy dinner tonight! 😊
@@CookingUpLove next time I think I’ll add less pepper but it was delicious!
What would the time be if I were to put it on low instead of high? Or just make sure the internal temp is 165?
Hi Bryanna! I haven't tried this recipe on low yet, but checking to make sure it's 165 would insure your chicken is done and I would estimate around the 5 -6 hour mark. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
I tried this recipe for the second time tonight. The first time I wasn't as pleased with the recipe as I thought I would be. Perhaps my expectations were too high. But I vowed to try it again at a later date. So this weekend I tried it again. But since I didn't have any garlic powder I had to do without. And this time, when it was done cooking I placed the chicken under the broiler (on high) for about 10 minutes before serving it. This time I thought it tasted a little better! What I was wondering was what you do with the cooker drippings after you're done? Did you throw them out or save them to baste another chicken dish?
Hey Anthony, sounds like it's growing on you 😊 I haven't kept the drippings yet, next time we make this I'll give it a try!
What changes would you make for chicken breast?
Can I crisp it up and then put it in the slow cooker to take it to my potluck?
Make sure to wash the meat .
I usually rinse with water then place meat in a bowl with water, white distilled vinegar & scrub it.
I scrape it , using a knife and thick 🍋 slices, for feathers and otner imperfections
Then i rinse the meat AGAIN
Don’t wash chicken. It spreads bacteria.
I was looking for something a little healthier without bottled sauce or sugar but what the heck, this looks easy and delicious, I'll try it today. Thanks
Easy and delicious and not too unhealthy! 😊 Hope you enjoyed!!
Wings are the only thing I have in the fridge that I can make for tomorrow, I don't have spray though. Can I rub some butter around the pot instead?
Absolutely, Ivette. You could use butter, olive oil or vegetable oil to grease the slow cooker insert instead of spray. It will help make the clean-up easier. The wings will take less time than the chicken thighs and chicken legs, check them at the 90 min to 2 hour mark. Hope you enjoy! 😊
@@CookingUpLove I did and they were delicious! For years I've been looking for an easy BBQ chicken recipe and yours was so simple and good! I just left the grocery store, I bought more wings for next week! Thanks!
Can I use garlic parmesan sauce instead of barbecue?
Hi Nicole! I haven't tried this recipe with a different sauce yet, but it should be fine. I might change up the rub seasoning to match the garlic parmesan profile a little more, like a lemon pepper rub. Enjoy and thank you for tuning in!
If you don't have a broiler or grill how can you make them "crispy" like? Toss them in a regular non-stick pan?
Hi! I haven't tried that before, but I think using a hot skillet, coated with olive oil could work. The BBQ sauce has sugar in it, so just watch them so the sugar doesn't get too overdone for you.
@@CookingUpLove thank you so much for replying! I'll give that a try for sure.
You can turn your oven up to the hottest it goes and bake them in glass for bit, it might take a little longer then broiling tho
😊
If I don’t have a broiler or grill how could I make it crispy ? Would the oven work ?
Hi Bianca, yes you can preheat the oven to 425 and cook the legs until they crisp up. Use parchment paper or an oiled rack on top of a sheet pan so they don't stick or burn. Thanks for watching 😊
How do you have an oven wit no broiler? Stick your head in oven then look up. Those coils are the broiler. 😂
What if I don't do the broiler step will it not be done?
Can you make the rub without sugar?
Hi Sulu, I haven’t tried this rub without the sugar yet, but it should be fine. There will be a some sugar in bbq sauce for a touch of sweetness. Good luck and let me know if you try it!
After the chicken is done in the crock pot, I wonder how a couple cups of rice would cook in those juices?
Thank you for the suggestion 👍 We'll have to try that the next time we make this!
Love this recipe been using it but I need to cook 6 pounds of chicken for guests. How do I do the math on the cook time
Hey Eric, that's awesome, glad you're loving this recipe! Great question, I think the 7 qt slow cooker size I have could easily handle 4 - 5 lbs of chicken, and the cook time should still be around 3 hours on High. I haven't tried 6lbs because it would be too much for the size of my crockpot, but if you're able to stack 6 lbs in your crockpot and still have it be about 2/3 full, the 3 - 4 hour cook time set on HIGH should get you close to the 165* internal temp. If your crockpot is the same size as mine (7qt), borrowing a friend's crockpot would be a good alternate.
@@CookingUpLove Yesterday I just picked up an 8 qt upgrading from a 5 qt. I have been doing 2lbs of chicken in the 5 qt for 3 hours and the very last time I decided 3 hours was too long that setup if I plan grilling it. I tried broiler and grill… but I prefer my grill. At 3 hours the meat gets soooo fall off the bone tender, makes it hard to handle on the grill. But I will try out my new 8 qt on 6 pounds at 3 hours and see how it goes!
Could you cook this on low for a longer amount of time and it still turn out right?
I cook mine low for up to 24 hrs, but I add more liquid and monitor. Absolute fall apart heaven
🤝🌹❤️👍Salam 🌹 🌹
is the cumin whole or powder?
Hi Isabel, I've used the cumin powder in this recipe. Thank you for watching!! ❤️
The only thing that I didn't have today when I'm making it now is the smoked paprika. I hope it still comes out good. It smells good
Can you add whisky for liquid?🤔🤨
I want to try this with just a dry rub. I do not like sauce.
Hi Patrick, the chicken is delicious with just the dry rub. Hope you enjoy!
Have you ever used molasses instead of the brown sugar; at least part way?
Not yet Hairball, I'll have to give that a try!! Thanks for watching :)
Something seems off with this recipe. Add up the Tablespoons of spices she uses (8), that is a HALF cup of spice, not counting the salt and extra T of brown sugar she uses. For only 2lbs of chicken? I suspect she used a lot more chicken than that. When I did 3.25 lbs of chicken I still put it on very thick and had probably 3 T left of the rub. It won't go to waste I just put it in a zip lock bag for next time, but I honestly think something is wrong here. I watch her video she does appear to use a Tablespoon, so my guess is the amount of chicken.
whats the point cooking in slow cooker if you have to put it in the oven?
Hi Bear man, the first step in the slow cooker makes the chicken super tender, the second step is optional and just a few minutes under the broiler to get a little color and char on the bbq sauce. Thank you so much for watching!
Yeah! What she said
It's not a crock pot reciepe if u use the grill or oven
🤦🏽♂️ thank you
Noted, thanks Rich! They're definitely delicious straight out of the crock pot, just a little extra touch if there's time before getting them on the table. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it! 😊
So to confirm, no water?
No, chicken will release enough liquid
@@rayray5943 thank you!
Thank you R. Lundy for answering! 😊
@@rayray5943 cornish hen?
WHY WOULD YOU SET YOUR CROCKPOT ON HIGH INSTEAD OF LOW? DOESN'T IT COME OUT MORE TENDER ON LOW?
Maybe cuz she’s not going for shredded style, like fully shredded chicken idk.
@@jdssurf I WANT IT TO FALL OFF THE BONE BUT NOT DRY.
Her voice is so hawt.
