Slow Cooker Oriental Chicken

List of Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3½-4 lb.), cut-up*
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/3 c. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. water
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 c. slivered almonds



Recipe


In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in oil on both sides. Transfer to slow cooker. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic and ginger; pour over chicken.

Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cook 4-5 hours longer or until the meat juices run clear. Remove chicken to a serving platter; sprinkle with almonds. Spoon juices over chicken or thicken, if desired.

Yield: 4-6 servings

MY NOTES: Instead of a whole chicken, I used boneless thighs. I did thicken the juice with cornstarch, and rather than use the almonds, we used chopped green onion. I also used a Reynolds "Slow Cooker Liner" to ease clean-up.
