Suggestions

This is probably my favorite way to cook bbq chicken in a crockpot.  I made some peas, corn and mashed potatoes to go along with this.  The applesauce/bbq sauce combination on the potatoes makes a great gravy!!  Don't be surprised when you bite into it and forget that there are little chunks of apples in the sauce.  It caught me off guard the first time.
