 I love BBQ flavours, don't you? It's such a relief that you can make BBQ meats in the slow cooker too. It doesn't matter if it rains or shines (usually rain here in the UK), the BBQ food can still go ahead.

I have made BBQ Beef in the slow cooker for quite some time and, like this BBQ chicken, it's absolutely delicious in sandwiches. Pop over to the recipe and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

This BBQ chicken recipe packs a bit more punch than the beef as it has added jalapenos and it's less sweet than a lot of recipes that use a pre-made BBQ sauce. As with all slow cooker recipes, just whack everything in, leave it to cook and then all you need to do is shred the chicken and put it inside a lovely, soft roll with coleslaw, lettuce, whatever floats your boat!

Top Tips for Making Slow cooker BBQ Chicken

• If you prefer your BBQ chicken less spicy, leave out either the chilli or the jalapenos.
• If you prefer it really sweet, add an extra tbsp of sugar and an extra tbsp of ketchup.
• Chicken breasts often release a lot of water. If you think there's too much liquid, once the chicken is cooked, lift the slow cooker lid off and leave for another hour and it will reduce and thicken.
