Sweet Crock-Pot Chicken

It's summertime and in our ancient house there is no air-conditioning.  This means I do not like to turn on the oven if I can help it, so I use the crock-pot a lot during these hot days.  It makes the house smell great without heating it up too much.  Sometimes, if it is really steamy, I will put the crock-pot out on the screened-in porch instead.

Sweet Crock-Pot Chicken

3 lbs chicken breasts
1 beer (I used Blue Moon Agave Nectar Ale)
1 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup red wine vinegar 
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup teriyaki sauce
1/8 Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs Sriracha sauce
1Tbs minced garlic
1 Tbs onion powder


Whisk together all ingredients (except chicken of course).  Put chicken in the crock-pot and pour sauce over it.  Cook on low for 6 hours.  Shred.  Cook for another hour.

Serve over rice or noodles.

We at this 2 nights in a row.  The first night we ate it with Martha Stewart's Ramen Noodle Upgrade recipe.  The second night we mixed it with brown rice.  Both were delicious.
