bbq: I'm planning on making a big batch for my daughter's birthday. We need to feed about 12 adults and 4 children, although we will also be serving brats. -What kind of meat should I buy and how much? Leg and thighs, chicken breasts only, whole chicken?? -How long should I cook it for? Low or High? -Should I used water, chicken broth, or the BBQ sauce? -Should I wait to put in the BBQ sauce?|||I would buy a 10 lb. bag of leg quarters. Boil them in a pot until done. Take chicken off bone and put in crock pot with your bbq sauce and just a little chicken broth. You could use the rest of the chicken broth to make rice or pasta.|||For that many people, you will need a fair amount of chicken. May I recommend turkey instead? Just thaw and roast the bird till done. You can stuff the cavity with whole onions, celery and carrots and bay leaf to season. Shred the meat, white and dark but skip the skin and any fat. Fry some onions till very done and add the onions, shredded meat and your favorite BBQ sauce into the crockpot and heat till hot as you want it. You can do the exact same thing with chicken but for 16 people you would end up fiddling around with the meat, boning it, etc and it will be more work, just because the chickens are small and you need more. A nice turkey is actually less work in the long run. What ever you don't need freeze for turkey salad sandwiches when it is too hot to cook.|||If I were you I would buy 4 or 5 whole chicken cut up. Take the skin off at home to save money. You can freeze left over with no problem. Your crock pot may not be big enough for all of them so the day before I would simmer the pieces in a a large pot with all of the following: 1 low sodium bullion cube or if you can find no salt added loose bullion do about 2 About 1/3 bottle b-b-q sauce 2 tsp chili powder 1 large onion rough chopped 2 cloves garlic enough water to cover Simmer until fall off the bone tender, and drain. When it is cool enough to handle remove the bonbes and shred the meat.Thrwo the skin in the trash as well. Then put in the slow cooker crock with at least 1 more bottle b-b-q sauce, or until well covered. Put in the firdghe then the next morning add about a cup of water and turn that puppy on hi. Stir often, you may need to add more water as it cooks ust so it is stir able. Then have more b-b-q sauce on the side for people to add more as they chose.|||=== Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue 6 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 (12 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Place chicken in a slow cooker.
