sIMPLE SLOW COOKED BBQ CHICKEN & purple slaw

LET'S POUR BBQ SAUCE OVER EVERYTHING.

I made this dish when we had family coming over for a football game and IT WAS A TOUCHDOWN folks! 

What I enjoy the most about this meal is that I don't have to be in the kitchen for hours preparing a meal.  I let the slow cooker do it's beautiful work and just prepare the sides, like this amazing PURPLE SLAW :) 

The next time you want a gameday feelin' meal or just an excuse to pour BBQ sauce over everything, give this recipe a try!
