How to Make Brown Sugar Bacon Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
A while back I made some Brown Sugar Bacon Slow Cooker Pork Chops that everyone in my house loved. I had a pack of chicken this week that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it when those amazing pork chops came to mind. I knew that the flavors would work wonderfully with chicken. So, now you have this delicious Crock Pot Brown Sugar Bacon Chicken recipe to try, and you will want to try it. They are wonderful!
This recipe is incredibly simple. There are only 3 ingredients and not a lot of prep time needed. The flavors of the chicken, bacon and brown sugar all cooking together give you an amazing cooking sauce that is awesome when spooned over top of your chicken. This will be a recipe we will make again and again around here.
