A flavorful and easy-to-make BBQ chicken recipe perfect for weeknight dinners.
Place the chicken and water in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken is evenly spread out in the slow cooker for even cooking.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
Avoid opening the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain the temperature.
Combine garlic powder, ketchup, vinegar, salt, lemon juice, butter, mustard, and brown sugar in a saucepan.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil.
Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the sauce.
Cook on low for an additional hour.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
