Another family favorite.  Actually, if you would ask Brandon, this BBQ chicken recipe made him fall in love with me. I believe the words were “wifey material,” but don’t quote me 😉  That being said, this meal is SPICY! Be warned.  You can always cut back on jalapeno or red pepper flakes if you want to tone it down a notch. 

I love a good one-pot recipe, and this one can be made in the crockpot OR on the stovetop. If you’re opting for the stovetop method, you will need to boil and shred the chicken separately from the BBQ sauce, and then add it in as the final ingredient to the dish. You can also substitute shredded chicken breast for shredded rotisserie chicken to add more flavor.
