Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Chicken Food

SLOW COOKER ASIAN GLAZED DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Place drumsticks in a 6.5-quart, or larger, slow cooker; set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, sriracha and ground ginger.
• Pour soy sauce mixture over the chicken drumsticks and gently toss to coat.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature register at 165˚F.
• If you'd like to thicken the sauce, make a slurry about 15 minutes before the chicken is done: in a small bowl or cup, whisk together water and cornstarch.
• Remove cover from slow cooker and stir the slurry into the sauce; recover and cook on HIGH heat for 10 to 12 more minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
• Serve drumsticks with sauce and top with sesame seeds and cilantro.

SLOW-COOKED SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Sit the chicken in a casserole dish, rub the marinade all over, and put the ginger peel in the cavity. Cover and leave at room temperature to marinate for 1 hr, or in the fridge overnight.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the stock ingredients in a jug, then pour over the chicken. Roast for 1 hr, uncovered, then baste with the liquid in the dish. Roast for 30-40 mins more, basting every 10 mins, until the chicken is deep brown. Keep an eye on the glaze in the base of the dish - you may need to add a splash of water to keep it from burning.
• Leave the chicken to rest for 20 mins, then transfer to a board. Skim the fat from the juices, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat. Shred the thigh and leg meat and wrap in the lettuce leaves along with the spring onions, cucumber, chilli, coriander and nuts. Slice the breast meat and serve withthe rice and warm roasting juices.

SESAME CHICKEN FOR SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Spread chicken into the crock of a slow cooker.
• Stir honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced onion, vegetable oil, and garlic powder together in a bowl; pour over the chicken.
• Cook on Low until the chicken is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove chicken from the sauce in the slow cooker to a cutting board. Stir water and cornstarch together to dissolve cornstarch completely; pour into the sauce in the slow cooker until smooth.
• Cook on High until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and stir into the sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and sauce mixture.
