For all you people having trouble taking the skin off chicken pieces - just use a paper towel - magic!

Very good recipe. I found after 2 hours in the slow cooker the sauce disappeared. Next time I make this recipe I will double the sauce. Thanks for sharing!!!

We loved this one! The recipe makes plenty of sauce. Dried parsley worked just fine. This was so tender that the meat was just falling off the bones after 5 hours of cooking on low. The only downside was that I'm new to having to skin things it took me 35 minutes to skin and trim the chicken. Next time I'll just buy skinless. This would be easy to use to make pulled sandwiches.

I made this with prok ribs and since I did not have orange juice I used pineapple juice and I use 2 cloves of minced garlic instead of garlic salt...the results were YUMMY. This recipe could be used with chicken, pork or beef short ribs. It is wonderful.

tropical bbq chicken was very good! Easy to prepare. I purchased boneless/skinless chicken for this recipe which made it even easier to prepare! 4.5 stars from me! Barb S/Wisconsin Rapids WI
