BBQ Chicken & Smoked Sausage image

My party-ready barbecue recipe works like a dream for weeknights, too. With just a few minutes of prep time, you still get that low-and-slow flavor everybody craves (thanks, slow cooker!). Throw in minced jalapenos for extra oomph. -Kimberly Young, Mesquite, Texas
