I've been married for 42 years and have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I love to collect cookbooks and try new recipes. This dish is delicious, easy and good when served with rice and a vegetable side dish. Everyone in the family loves it!-Edith Holliday, Flushing, Michigan

Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked rice

Steps:

Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, onion, celery, salt and pepper; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender. Serve with rice. Freeze option: Cover and freeze cooled chicken and sauce in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a foil-lined 13x9-in. baking dish in a preheated 325° oven until heated through, covering if necessary to prevent excess browning.
