helping me with our 1st crockpot recipe

Here's the money shot - thomas' million dollar smile. what a ham!

first, i put all the ingredients for the crockpot BBQ sauce in a bowl and thomas helped me stir it. he was very good about not whipping it around too fast, so all the bbq sauce actually stayed in the bowl!

i stuck the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot and he helped spoon all the sauce over the top. fun! :)


all the sauce is in, and we are ready to push start. unfortunately i did not take a picture of the end product. our friend, Stella, said that evening that we haaad to get a picture of the finished product. she was right and I forgot. But it was a little on the dry side. So we'll try it again next week, maybe tweak the sauce some more, and take a picture then :)

Oo, my mouth started to water just reading about what you made! Crockpot meats do tend to come out a bit on the dry side, it seems. I wonder what can be done about that?

oh i am so glad to hear that it is a typical problem of crock pot meat. that is interesting b/c when you stew it in a pot on the stove for 4-6 hrs it doesn't end up dry-ish. i will have to try another recipe, maybe pot roast this time, with some potatoes and carrots... :)
