SLOW COOKER BROWN SUGAR & GARLIC CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Slow Cooker Brown Sugar & Garlic Chicken Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 to 6 chicken breasts
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (I used Sprite)
2 to 3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons water
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken (frozen, thawed or fresh) inside slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker (mine basically fell apart) and pour remaining sauce into saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. Mix together corn starch and water, pour into saucepan, and mix well. Let sauce come to a boil and boil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue to thicken as it cools down). Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired. This can be served over rice or noodles, but we had ours with a baked potato on the side (It's good on top of the potato too!)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of garlic. Garlic powder, garlic salt, and fresh garlic all add different flavors to the dish, so use a combination of all three for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to burn.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over high heat will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Garlic brown sugar chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Garlic brown sugar chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and it can also be made with frozen chicken. The combination of garlic and brown sugar creates a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
