Slow Cooker Saucy Orange-Barbecued Chicken

Sweet-and-sour tang makes this chicken dish stand out, while the slow-cook method in place of barbecue makes it easy with faster clean-up.

Kid approved, so I gave it the five spoons. Anytime the kids gobble it down, you know it's good. I left the skin on, and there was plenty of juices from the chicken to keep this moist. I did not heat up the sauce first. I simply mixed it all together and put it in with the chicken on low for an hour. The sauce was excellent and tasted great over rice and peas. My biggest suggestion is that you double the sauce mix. There wasn't a lot of sauce left over. Basically you would need an entire bottle of chili sauce and one small bottle of orange marmalade. I plan to try the sauce with other recipes also.

Looking at this recipe I am leary of it. It is been my experience that if there is not enough liquid in the slow cooker than it will be dry and most likely burn, especially after 7 hours. I could be wrong but shouldn't there be some liquid in the slow cooker?
