Assembly Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in the oil on both sides. Place the browned chicken parts in a slow cooker. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Pour the sauce ingredients over the chicken parts. Cover the slow cooker with a lid and simmer on high power for one hour. Reduce the heat to low and cook about 5 hours longer, or until the meat juices run clear.
Freezing Directions:
Cool thoroughly. Place in a suitable freezer container. Put almonds in a small freezer bag and place with the chicken. Seal and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw. Reheat in slow cooker on low heat until heated throughout, about one hour. Just before serving, gently stir the almonds into the sauce.
Comments:
In my own home, I would set the crock insert right on the table and serve from it, passing a big bowl or rice around to go with it. For company, I would place a layer of rice on a platter, arrange the chicken pieces on the rice and sprinkle a few extra almonds over the top. A few drained mandarin oranges or halved cherry tomatoes make a colorful and easy garnish.
This oriental flavored chicken has a wonderfully rich sauce. Serve it with rice and stir fried vegetables for a memorable meal. The Orange Apricot Freeze recipe makes a great finish to this meal!
