Simple Peach Barbecue Chicken

I tried this one a few weeks ago.  It's another one out of my big slow cooker magazine and was another Hubby's choice.  As usual, he raved about it :)

Ingredients:

2 ½ to 3 lbs chicken drumsticks, skinned if desired 

1 cup of your favorite barbeque sauce 

1/3 cup peach or apricot preserves 

2 teaspoons yellow mustard

Preparation:

To Prepare Sauce:
In a small bowl, stir together barbecue sauce, preserves, and mustard.

Place chicken in slow cooker. Pour sauce mixture over chicken. Cover and cook a couple hours on high, or 3-4 on low for newer slow cookers. For older slow cookers, 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 on high.

Transfer chicken to serving dish, cover to keep warm. Transfer sauce to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Serve chicken with sauce. Garnish with fresh peach wedges if desired.

The Verdict:

As I said before, the hubby LOVED this one. I served it with cut corn and red skin garlic mashed potatoes. Very yummy!

**One thing I want to clarify from the preparation is about the slow cooker times. I will elaborate more in another post, but it seems that newer slow cookers cook at higher temperatures. I realized I have been overcooking some things, and this would be why. So when you use your slow cooker, you may not have to cook things as long as some of the recipes call for. Refer to the instruction manual for your slow cooker if you have it.

Hello Readers!  I promise I haven't left my blog!  I've been crazy busy lately, as usual, and haven't had much time on the computer to do the work it takes to make a post.  Things should be slowing down so I can at least get up the last couple posts I have in mind.  With my busyness, I have been making a lot of repeat recipes.  I'm hoping to get into some new ones soon, especially some good ones for summer so stay tuned!
