Chipped Honey Chipotle BBQ Chicken

Budget Tip

Making your own sauce is almost always cheaper than buying it from the store, especially this one because most likely you have all of these ingredients in your pantry and fridge except for the chipotle peppers.  AND, this is yet ANOTHER recipe that you can use with your rotisserie chicken leftovers (or a whole one as I did here)

Suggested Ingredients

1 whole rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup of ketchup
1/4 cup honey
2 - 3 TBSP brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like your sauce)
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 tsp Worcestershire
a pinch or two of kosher salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder (i use a garlic powder mixture called Johnny's)
1 1/2 - 2 TBSP chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Chicken broth

Suggested Cooking Method

Pull all of the meat off of the bones, reserving bones and skin for making a chicken stock which can be found here:
Rotisserie Chicken Stock

Pull the chicken into strips and then using a sharp knife, chop the chicken into small pieces.  Throw the chicken in a crock pot with the rest of the ingredients stirring it around.  Add just a little bit of chicken stock to give it some liquidity.  Turn the crock pot on low and simmer for 4 hours.  Do NOT open the crock pot for 4 hours!!  I know you want to because it smells so good, but resist it.

This is great for lunchtime sandwiches or if you are throwing a party, serve it over chips and nacho cheese.  They will be a HUGE hit for your Superbowl party!
