EASY ONE-POT BBQ CHICKEN
I had some sweet potatoes and some chicken thighs that needed using up this week, and BBQ chicken seemed like the obvious way to go- I often make this type of dish in the slow cooker, but I wanted a quick, weeknight version of this. I love the combination of chicken and bbq sauce, one of my favourite treat meals is Hunter’s chicken. Served with sweet potato fries, some baby corn and any other veg that you fancy (peppers go well too), this is like a Texan treat meal, but is wholly healthy!

Just about to do this in the 8 in 1 multi cooker but would you tell us how you would do this in the slow cooker please. Thanks 🥰
Hi Emma, I don’t have a multi-cooker so I’m afraid I can’t advice on this, however if you join The Slimming Foodie Community on Facebook, lots of the members use multicookers so I’m sure you could get some advice there.
Hi
Thank you for these fabulous recipes
Just making it now! Not sure if I should be removing the chicken skin first before frying?
Many thanks
Sue
Hi Sue, I use the chicken thigh fillets which are the skinless and boneless thighs. If you are using the ones with skin on then yes I would remove the skins first, and you may want to debone them, although of course you can do this once they are cooked too.
