I wanted to make BBQ pulled chicken for dinner the other night. I was completely out of my favorite BBQ sauce to add to the crock pot so I decided to make my own. It turned out really nice, the kids asked for 2nd's and wanted it again the next day!
I used this to add to 4 chicken breasts in the crock-pot so I left the mixture I made in the sauce pan a bit more toward the liquid side as it was going to be cooking all day. With the measurements I used it is easily scaled to larger or smaller amounts depending on the amount you want to make.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Dark Non-Hoppy Beer of your choice (Porter or Double Bock recommended, Root Beer if you want it really sweet!)
- 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Ground Mustard
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tsp Paprika
- 1 Tsp Cumin
- 1/4 Tsp Allspice
- 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
Directions:
- Add Beer and Ketchup to Sauce Pan and mix thoroughly
- Add Brown Sugar and Apple Cider Vinegar and let simmer until sugar is dissolved
- Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until desired consistency is reached.
