SHELL's REVIEW : YUMMERS!! This turned out soooo good!! We will have leftovers tonight and more then likely Monday too!! It's great cuz I just removed 2 breast and left the other 4 in the sauce and added some more chipotle and a little sugar....and just put the crockpot(removable pan) back in the fridge.... I'll just put it back on low for a few hours this afternoon, and the same thing on Monday before I go to the gym.... (2-1/2 hours should be fine...) And SO easy to make too!!
SHANE'S REVIEW : It's really good...but needed more chipotle!!

I do it to my taste and he adds some pepper at the table- pepper flakes or chipotle or habanero powders...
glad you liked it, I normally just nuke the leftovers because the crock takes up too much space in the fridge and on the counter, but we don't normally have a lot left... since I mostly make it when Bill's friends are over.. we can't wait to try a few of your recipes soon Shell.. I got Bill's go ahead on 3 of them for this week or next..

If I only cook one pound of chicken, can I just cut the sauce recipe in half? I don't want left overs of the sauce because I know I won't use it. How much sauce do you usually use per serving?
Also, if I am only having one serving and freezing the other 3, should shred the chicken and and the sauce before I freeze it....or when I am ready to defrost and eat it? Should I freeze the cooked chicken separate from the sauce in this case?
Thanks. I am anxious to try this.

I'd just shred it all and then freeze in portions mixed with the sauce.. and leftover works well as BBQ or you could cut the portions- its all to taste anyway...

Hello Do you have to pull the breast apart can you just let them stay whole? or does this do something to the flavor?

I want to make this tonight but I don't have any tomato paste. I guess I better pick some up next week or maybe I'll make my hubby pick some up.

you could leave it whole, but by pulling it apart (it does it almost on its own) it makes for sloppy joe type sandwiches- big hits with kids.. and is like old fashioned BBQ that people down south used to do and oh so yummy! also fewer breasts feed more that way!

discovered I have no idea how much onion powder or garlic powder to use! I am so bummed! Now I probably just freeze the chicken and try it for next weekend hoping maybe you can answer my question,,,,pretty please!
About how many tsps of each powder do you use per the sauce recipe? I know it says "to taste", but I'm bad at winging it and do better with measurements.
Thanks to anyone who has made this and can help me!

I've only made this once -- it was really good. I did have to make adjustments -- when I first tasted it, it wasn't that great. So net measurements are approximations. You might want to start out with half the amount of spices and add the rest later if you feel something lacking. It's easy enough to add more but you can't take anything back out! I was also pretty sure I had added pepper, but I don't have that in my notes.
used around 2 lbs chicken breasts used same amount of paste (12 oz) used dark molasses -- 3 T about 2 T honey 1 T onion powder 1 T garlic powder 1 T mild chili powder 2 T vinegar 1 T brown sugar several drops liquid smoke (if you do have chipotle, use that instead - I never remember to buy it)
didn't measure the water -- just kept pouring it in until it covered the chicken. I let it cook down and shredded the chicken right there in the crock pot and mixed everything up -- no extra sauce.
