Slow Cooker Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Chicken
A sweet and tangy combination bursting out of a perfectly slow cooked BBQ Chicken.
One can never go wrong with barbecued chicken. And yes, I would agree that the flavor you get out of cooking it in coal is absolutely amazing. But you also cannot deny that cooking BBQ chicken in a slow cooker is s divine as when you cook it on a grill.
The best part of cooking it in a slow cooker is how tender and flavor it turns out to be. It even is more delectable than grilled dishes. The long hours of cooking in the slow cooker allows the flavors to penetrate deep into the chicken that makes it juicy and so savory.
Check out the recipe below.
