Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken

I made this last night, and it was really yummy! I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch. 

What You'll Need: 

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or 2 packages chicken breast tenderloins
1 bottle honey barbecue sauce
Scant 1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp garlic powder

How to Make It: 

Place the chicken in a large slow cooker. In a bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, red pepper and garlic powder. Pour over chicken. Place lid on slow cooker and cook on Low setting for 4-6 hours. Fair warning: the longer you leave the chicken in the slow cooker, the more dried it will taste (especially if using thinly prepared chicken, like the tenderloins.) So for smaller pieces of chicken, aim for about 4 to 5 hours before serving.
