CROCK POT -SAUCY ITALIAN CHICKEN THIGHS
I found this in a Cooking Light slow cooker book at Barnes and Nobles $1.99 table. I am always on the look out for easy recipes I can do at the firehouse to feed hungry guys for a reasonable price. I put this on in the morning and by 6 pm I add a salad to the meal. Done! The guys at work loved it.

ASIAN ESSENTIALS: SAUCY BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
This is a fairly easy recipe to assemble and bake. As a matter of fact, if you already have the chicken thighs, you probably have the other ingredients on hand. The sauce is the star of this recipe. I usually double the sauce, and the next day drizzle some over rice. It is to-die-for. So, you ready... Let's get into the...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. The absolute best pan for this recipe is cast iron. If you do not have one, just make sure that your pan is ovenproof.
- 3. If, at the end of the cooking process, the sauce still seems a bit thin, just remove the chicken, place the pan over medium heat, and stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch, or arrowroot powder. That should do the trick. To keep the starch from forming little clumps (I HATE it when that happens), first stir in a bit of water, about a tablespoon, before adding it to the sauce.
- 4. If you want the chicken to have a brown, caramelized coating, then stick it under the broiler for a minute or two. But, watch it, because sugars burn really fast, and that will give the sauce a bitter taste.
- 5. Your chicken thighs are not boneless or skinless: No worries, pull the skin off and leave the bones in. No tamari or liquid aminos: Use soy sauce; however, if you do not have low sodium, then do not salt the chicken. No fresh clover honey: Try substituting maple syrup. No apple-cider vinegar: use plain distilled white vinegar. No ginger powder: Use minced fresh, if you have it, and double the amount. No sesame oil: Just leave it out.
- 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 7. Whisk the sauce/marinade ingredients together in a non-reactive bowl, then sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on the chicken thighs and coat with the sauce.
- 8. Place, covered, in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or overnight.
- 9. If you can keep the thighs in the sauce for a few hours, it will really help to develop some great flavors. My suggestion is this: If you are planning to make this recipe for dinner, then add the chicken to the sauce in the morning. That will give it a few hours and make for some mighty tasty eating.
- 10. Place a rack in the lower position and preheat the oven to 420f (215c).
- 11. Add the chicken and the sauce to an ovenproof skillet.
- 12. Add the skillet to the preheated oven.
- 13. Using a pair of tongs, flip the chicken over about every 7 minutes, until it is browned, cooked through, and the sauce begins to thicken. Mine took 35 minutes.
- 14. PLATE/PRESENT
- 15. My favorite way to serve this is family style with the chicken still in the pan (remember that the pan is hot), along with a steaming bowl of rice, freshly baked crusty bread, and Asian style condiments. Enjoy
- 16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or Dutch oven for the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken thighs. Give them enough space to brown evenly.
- Use a combination of cooking methods to ensure that the chicken thighs are cooked through and juicy. Browning them in a skillet before transferring them to the oven is a great way to achieve this.
- Make sure the sauce is simmering before adding the chicken thighs back to the pan. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the chicken thighs immediately with your favorite sides. Rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables are all great options.
Conclusion:
This saucy chicken thighs recipe is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
