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!

    Hi Kimberley! It’s been a while since Ive tried one of your recipes but this one, once again, came out great. Good flavour. The only thing, is that 5 hours was too long for my crockpot. The bones shattered so I deboned everything, put it back in and they ate it with rice or in a bun, like a sloppy joe.

      Hi Jennifer, it’s great to hear from you again! :) Thanks for the feedback. Yes, depending on whether you’re using fresh or still frozen chicken as well as the size of the pieces, the length of cooking time will vary, hence the range of 4-6 hours. Four hours may be plenty.

      This looks delicious! I want to make this but have not found any brown mustard anywhere. What could I use as a substitute? Thanks.

        Hi Cleo, it won’t quite be the same but you can substitute one tablespoon of regular yellow mustard.
