I don't use my slow cooker as much as I should. It is definitely an under-used appliance in my kitchen. I had some chicken thighs and drumsticks in the freezer that needed to be used up, so I dusted off my slow cooker and we had one delicious dinner.
Slow Cooker Asian Orange Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks
- ½ cup homemade chicken stock, or store bought
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup cider vinegar
- ⅔ cup honey
- zest & juice from one orange, or about ¼ cup orange juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 4 pounds chicken thighs and/or drumsticks
Mix together all of the ingredients, except the chicken, in a bowl. Place chicken in slow cooker. Pour orange mixture over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until done.
I served with Jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. Enjoy!

This chicken sounds absolutely delicious. I am always looking for new recipes for my crock pot.

ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I love my slow cooker. Did you broil these when you took them out of the slow cooker? They look really browned for the crock pot.
ReplyDeleteTrying this tonight!
ReplyDeleteKatie - I am always looking for crock pot ideas too.
ReplyDeleteKirstin - I hope you like it.
Julie - I did not broil them, but that would be a great idea. I think the ones that I have in the picture were at the top of the crock pot and maybe weren't cooking in the liquid the whole time, so they browned.
Dana - Hope you like it.
Tried this and it was yummy :-) I used Chicken Breasts instead of Thighs & Drumsticks and sadly didn't have any orange juice. However it was still Delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteI know this is an old post, but I found this recipe about a year ago. Since then it is in my regular recipe rotation! A great way to use leftover meat in the freezer.
