I made this but there was way too much for my family and since I left it in a little longer the meat was falling off the bone so we are going to use it for sandwiches tonight. Terrific recipe!!

We liked this dish. I used chicken drumsticks instead of the leg quarters. Since my sides weren't done yet, I put the chicken back into the slow cooker with the thickened sauce. That ensured that the chicken was nice and coated in the sauce by the time I served it. Very good.

It was pretty good. The sauce was a little to tangy so I added a couple more tablespoons of brown sugar while thickening the 2 cups of sauce.
