Sweet, tangy and juicy with a touch of kick, this Pineapple Orange BBQ Chicken takes less than 10 minutes of prep time and the slow cooker does the rest.

This dish features a fun interplay of flavors that compete for attention just long enough to be noticed and then blend together in unity as they mesmerize your palate.

This slow cooker dish also makes plenty of sauce so it lends itself perfectly to serving with rice or mashed potatoes. Ā Just add a veggie andĀ you’re all set.

Hands-off and fuss-free, it’s the perfect kind of meal for a busy weekday or a lazy weekend – come pull up a chair!

Let’s get started!

PlaceĀ all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.

Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over.

Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Carefully pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Ā Pour in the cornstarch slurry, whisking continually until the sauce is thickened. Ā Add salt to taste.

Return the sauce to the chicken.

Serve and enjoy!

    I had cooked chicken breasts which were very dry. I saw this recipe, &made this awesome sauce. I cut-the chicken into small pieces and simmers it for a while. Love the pineapple and I added mandarin oranges, too. Served over rice. Teenage grandsons lived it.
