SLOW COOKER GARLIC AND BROWN SUGAR CHICKEN
Yield 8
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken (I used frozen chicken, thawed chicken works great too) inside slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 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 2-3 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).
- Serve chicken over rice or noodles and top with glaze. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired.

Steps:
- Remove skin from chicken and season lightly with the salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Pat seasoning into chicken and place into the slow cooker. Whisk together the brown sugar, pineapple juice and soy sauce; pour around chicken. Cover and cook on low for about 5 to 6 hours, depending on the size. Use a wide spatula to remove the chicken from the slow cooker to a platter and loosely tent with aluminum foil; set aside to prepare the glaze. Turn cooker to high until mixture comes to a boil, or transfer to a saucepan for the stovetop. Whisk together the water and cornstarch until there are no lumps. Slowly stir into the boiling sauce until fully incorporated and continue boiling for about 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let rest a moment. Brush the sauce over each chicken thigh and serve the remaining sauce at the table. Cook's Note: I also added a few grinds of Rachael Ray's Perfect Poultry seasoning to the chicken with this batch, which contains sea salt, black pepper, onion, sage, rosemary and thyme. I use low sodium soy sauce so I can control my added salt.
Tips:
- For a crispy chicken exterior, pat the chicken pieces dry before searing them in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side before transferring them to the slow cooker.
- To enhance the flavor of the chicken, use a combination of light and dark meat pieces. Chicken thighs and drumsticks are good choices as they stay moist and juicy during the long cooking process.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and garlic to your personal preference. For a sweeter dish, add more brown sugar. If you prefer a more savory flavor, reduce the amount of brown sugar and add more garlic.
- For a thicker sauce, dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and stir it into the cooking liquid towards the end of the cooking time. Allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the slow cooker brown sugar chicken with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
