Time 3h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
3 cups canned tomato sauce
1 ½ cups ketchup
6 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
¼ cup Sriracha sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons garlic powder, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 (4 pound) whole chicken

Steps:

  • Spray a large slow cooker with cooking spray. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, cider vinegar, Sriracha, garlic powder, and pepper flakes; stir until well combined.
  • Clean the chicken and tie the legs. Add to the slow cooker and turn several times to coat in the sauce.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 7 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours. If possible, use a ladle to pour sauce over chicken every now and again to keep it moist. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot. Shred meat into a bowl and remove/discard all bones. Put chicken back into the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
