  • Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours.

  • Transfer chicken to a serving dish; cover and keep warm. Transfer sauce to a medium saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until sauce is desired consistency. Serve chicken with sauce. If desired, garnish with fresh peaches.

For easy cleanup:

Line your slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Add ingredients as directed in recipe. Once your chicken is finished cooking, spoon it out of your slow cooker. Once the food is out of your slow cooker liner, simply dispose of the liner. Note: Do not lift or transport the disposable liner with food inside.

I bought chicken legs when they were on sale - now what to do with them? I saw this recipe and thought I would try it.  The method is good, but I wouldn't cook legs much longer than 6 hours as they were very fall off the bone after 6 hours. What I object to is the doctoring up of the barbecue sauce - if you have a perfectly fine barbecue sauce, why would you doctor it with peach preserves? How do you even know peach preserves would go along with what you started with? In my case, I pay extra money to buy barbecue sauces that do not have High Fructose Corn Syrup in them - and most of the major brands I've seen have HFCS as either the 1st or second ingredient. I was in a hurry and just picked up cheap peach preserves and didn't notice until I went to use them that they had HFCS as the second ingredient. I know, my fault. But that's still to say that I had HFCS in my barbecue sauce.As I said, the method was good, it's just that if and when I make these again. I won't doctor up the barbecue sauce unless I think it needs doctoring.Now, anyone got a use for peach preserves?
