Steps:
- Line a 3 to 6-quart slow cooker with a liner if using one. I prefer to use liners for easy cleanup.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over bottom of the liner or slow cooker.
- To a large, gallon-sized ziptop plastic bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt, pepper, seal bag, and toss to coat chicken evenly. Add chicken to slow cooker, evenly distributed; set aside.
- To a 2-cup measuring cup or medium bowl, add the orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger (I prefer 1 teaspoon but some people are sensitive to ginger), garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir to combine.
- Pour mixture over the chicken, using a spoon to distribute the sauce as necessary, making sure all pieces are coated.
- Cook covered on high for about 2 hours or on low for about 4 hours. If cooking on high, start checking at 90 minutes and if cooking on low, start checking at 3 hours. All slow cookers vary so cook until chicken is done (reaches 165F on an instant read thermometer).
- Add chicken to a plate with as much extra cooking sauce spooned over the top as desired, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, optional orange wedges, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Coat the bottom of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken in the bottom, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the chicken. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours on high or 5 to 6 hours on low, until the chicken registers 165 degrees F and is cooked through. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- With a mesh sieve, strain the sauce into a bowl or measuring cup. Discard the solids, then return the liquid to the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker heat to high. Mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water to create a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker sauce. Cover and cook on high until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes, stirring it often. Return the chicken pieces to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve with prepared rice, sprinkled with green onions and toasted almonds or sesame seeds as desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. They cook quickly and evenly in the slow cooker.
- Use a good quality beer: The beer you use will impart flavor to the chicken, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A light beer or a fruity beer both work well.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice is ideal, but you can also use bottled or frozen orange juice concentrate. If you use concentrate, be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
- Add some vegetables to the slow cooker: Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the dish. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, or zucchini.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts and thighs cook quickly in a slow cooker, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker beer orange chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the orange-beer sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve it over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
