2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste

Optional garnish:

Fresh parsley or green onions

Instructions

Pat the chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Trim off excess fat if needed.
Place the chicken in a single layer in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce with optional honey, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, coating each piece well.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
