Crock Pot Sticky Chicken

It seems we are always looking for new ways to jazz up chicken and this Crock Pot Sticky Chicken is a family favorite. With just a few common ingredients you probably already have, chicken gets turned into something really amazing.

My kids love this sauce so much that they spoon it over their veggies. Whatever works to get everyone to eat their vegetables! 🙂

We all love it and I could just eat the delicious glaze by the spoonful. Yum!

What to serve with sticky chicken?

It is really good with rice. I actually have a tip to make dinner even easier and faster.

Learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier. I love to grab the rice from the freezer in the morning and when we come home it is all ready to reheat and serve.

We do this for lots of meals and it helps put together a quick meal. This saves a ton of time so I would definitely recommend doing this.

If you aren’t freezing rice, you should be!

The sauce is so amazing so you will want something to dip into all of that deliciousness. We love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and it is perfect for getting every last bit of that amazing sauce.

You could also try Roasted Green Beans or learn how to steam broccoli in the microwave for a super easy veggie side dish.

We love to keep things simple around here so we can get dinner on the table fast. It is so easy to pop one of those steam bags of veggies in the microwave.

Weeknights are really crazy around here so we just do what we can do! This meal makes family dinner a possibility even during crazy week of school, work and activities.

You need a good crock pot for this sticky chicken recipe.

If you are in the market for something new, I really love my Ninja cooker. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker.

It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.

I also really like this crockpot as well.  I use this all the time and it’s great.

My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.

I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.

Another favorite is this programmable crock pot  for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!

I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.

Make dinner time even easier and use the crock pot liners. Trust me.
