Slow Cooker Burnt Honey Barbecue Chicken
When it's so blazing hot outside that you can't bear the thought of firing up the grill, this no-fuss slow-cooker barbecue chicken recipe will come to the rescue. A quick sear in a cast-iron skillet awakens the flavors of the herbs and spices and gives the chicken a nice crust that makes the finished barbecue taste more authentic. The real star here is the burnt honey barbecue sauce; added just before serving, it retains a distinct honey flavor that balances this tangy-sweet chicken perfectly.
