Did I just ruin dinner? Help!

So I'm making BBQ chicken in the crockpot. (Here is the recipe.) 

I only had half the chicken the recipe calls for, so I halfed everything. No biggie, done it before.

Expect by the time I got to the liquid, I forgot to half it and put the full amount in. It's all mixed together now, and no real way (that I can think of) to take it out. Am I going to have super runny chicken, or did I ruin it?

That recipe looks good.  I probably would have put in a little more than half of the liquid because I tend to like more sauce with my meat.  Did it seem like too much when you were putting everything in the crock pot?

Not really. All the meat is covered, but no by a ton. (If that makes sense.) I'm hoping because it's mainly a ton of extra BBQ sauce and not actual liquid, it will be okay. It's only a few ounces extra of the beer. 

I hope!! I was really excited to try the recipe, and don't want to ruin it!

Before serving it, you could,take out the chicken and put he liquid in a saucepan and reduce it on the stove.  A bit more work, but will help if too liquidy.

It'll still be fine, just saucier.  Pull the chicken out with a slotted spoon or tongs, and reduce the sauce if it's too liquid.  It's certainly not ruined!
