BEER-baque Chicken

With me packing, cleaning up, getting ready for the move and Eddie working late plus wanting to go to the gym and do whatever else our hearts desire . . .cooking dinner lately has not been something we have much time for sooooooo I have pulled out the slower cooker to help out!!

Our latest creation is BEER-baque Chicken . . . YUP YUP I spelled that right BEER-baque chicken (lol) and it is super simple which is the best part!!! Throw everything in before work, then finish it up when I get home, and then let it sit on warm till Eddie gets home :)

BEER-baque Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients:
-Chicken Breast

Directions:
1) To CrockPot add 1 chicken breast per person (or more if you want left overs)
2) Cover with 1 part beer 1 part water
3) Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4
4) Remove and shred Chicken Breasts
5) Drain Beer/Water Mix 
6) Add chicken breast back into CrockPot and cover with BBQ (as much as you like)
7) Turn CrockPot to warm and let sit until ready to eat

NOTES/TIPS
- You can use any kind of beer that you want or have on hand
- If you don't want to use beer you can use soda (coke/pepsi and dr.pepper work great!!!) or sparkling water -- really its all about the carbonation so something bubbly that tastes good with BBQ sauce
- We have done this recipe with pork too for pulled pork sandwiches
- Made too much and need a recipe for the leftovers? SEE BELOW

Copy Cat - Wingers Rebel Sauce

Since getting a fryer as a wedding present - Fried Naked Wings have definitely made their place into our favorite dinner/party foods. Here in Utah we have a restaurant called Wingers that has one of the best sweet, sticky, spicy sauces that we have ever tried. Wingers does sell their original sauce at the various grocery stores in the area but being the spice lovers that we are we prefer it a little bit spicier (AKA Rebel sauce at the restaurant) which is not sold in stores.
