This recipe combines the sweetness of cranberries with the tanginess of barbecue sauce to create a delightful chicken dish.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper evenly.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Place the chopped celery at the bottom of the slow cooker.
The celery acts as a natural rack for the chicken, preventing sticking.
Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the celery.
Place the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In a bowl, mix the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves into the sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Make sure the sauce covers all the chicken pieces for maximum flavor.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
