Easiest BBQ chicken ever

Okay so again, use chicken thighs for this recipe.  I am discovering that chicken thighs are so much tastier and far cheaper than chicken breasts.  This bbq chicken is to die for.  I served it with hoecakes and baked beans. I love this meal for a busy week night because you can load the crock pot before work and then you only need about 15 minutes to finish getting dinner ready once you get home.

BBQ chicken
Put frozen - yes, frozen - chicken thighs in the crock pot and cover with one bottle of bbq sauce.  Add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water.  Turn the crock pot on low and let them cook for at least 6 hours.  I let mine go 8 hrs and the meat just feel off the bone.  When you take them out, coat them in a little sauce if you like.

Hoecakes
1 cup of self rising flour
1 cup self rising cornbread mix
2 eggs
1 tbs sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1/3 cup plus 1 tbs of water 

butter or oil for frying

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, except for the oil or butter you will use for frying.  Heat your oil in your pan over medium high heat until it's shimmery.  Using an ice cream scoop, spoon the batter about 2 tbs at a time into the pan to make little corn pancakes.  Fry until golden brown on one side and then flip and fry the other side.  Paula Deen suggests that you eat these with molasses, but I just like to put butter on mine.
