Sauté the vegetables and add stone fruit and spices

Roughly chop the shallots, garlic, and jalapeño, and roast on a grill or in a hot oven until softened and fragrant, 5-10 minutes. Add to a heavy saucepan with the stone fruit and spices, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.

Step 1

Cover and simmer

Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes to an hour. The stone fruit will have softened, and released quite a bit of liquid.

Step 2

Blend

Purée all in a high-powered blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning according to taste.

Step 3

Refrigerate until ready to use

Cool fully, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Combine meat and sauce in slow cooker

Add chicken and barbecue sauce to a slow cooker, and cook on low for 3 ½ hours. Prepare a sheet pan with heavy-duty foil.

Add meat to sheet pan

Once the chicken is done cooking in the slow cooker, preheat the oven to broil. Remove the chicken, shaking off any excess sauce into the slow cooker, and add to the foil-lined sheet pan. Reserve remaining barbecue sauce.

Broil chicken

Season the chicken with kosher salt and black pepper. Broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side until browned, watching carefully to ensure that it does not burn.

Glaze and serve

Remove from oven, and brush the chicken on each side with barbecue sauce. Serve hot, with remaining sauce.
