  Ingredients

  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Hot cooked rice

   

  Directions

  • Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, onion, celery, salt and pepper; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender. Serve with rice.
    Freeze option: Cover and freeze cooled chicken and sauce in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a foil-lined 13x9-in. baking dish in a preheated 325° oven until heated through, covering if necessary to prevent excess browning.
