Easy BBQ chicken ready for dinner right from the slow cooker.

 

 

Cut carrots into 1-1/2 inch pieces.

 

 

the line-up.

 

 

cut the onions into 8 wedges each

 

 

and place about half of them at the bottom of the crock-pot

 

 

next, the carrots; about half also

 

 

and half the celery

 

 

Now, in a good-sized bowl, goes the maple syrup,  barbecue sauce,

 

 

balsamic vinegar,

 

 

worcestershire sauce,

 

 

smoked paprika,

 

 

and at least half of the beer

 

 

stir well.

 

 

Set the chicken  thighs in and let them rest a moment.

 

 

Then place them in the cooker

 

 

Like that.

 

 

Pour all the sauce over.

 

 

 

Add the rest of the vegetables.

 

 

Ready for the lid and some heat.

 

 

Turn to high, cover and cook about 5  hours; I start mine on high for a bit, then on low once it begins to boil at the edges;  when done, it can be thickened a bit with the cornstarch-water, if desired

 

 

serve with a nice green vegetable and basmati rice

 

 

Eat, enjoy.
