This chicken is fall off the bone good! I created this for two reasons. One, the chicken I placed in my fridge the morning before was still frozen solid and two, I had a lot of mayonnaise that needed used up. Mayonnaise is awesome for cooking meat.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 3

7 chicken leg quarters
1 bottle bbq sauce (your choice)
(season to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and season leg quarters lightly (because BBQ sauce will be salty). Place in crockpot with largest legs at the bottom; smaller legs at the top. Do not add water (I sprinkle a little minced onion on top of mine). Place top on crockpot and cook 5 hours on HIGH. Pour off broth. Cover chicken with barbecue sauce and cook on LOW about 15 more minutes. Turn off crockpot.
  • 2. (I use an oval 6qt. crock pot)
