Simple Soy Glazed Chicken - Slow Cooker

INGREDIENTS:
2 T sweet chilli sauce
1 T sesame oil
1/4 c soy sauce
1 small or 1/2 large lemon, juice
3 T brown sugar
4 chicken quarters (or similar)
2 T cornflour
2 - 3 T sherry or cold water

METHOD:
1.  Measure sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice and brown sugar straight into slow cooker. Mix.
2.  Place chicken pieces into slow cooker making sure to coat well in the glaze.
3.  Cook on high for 4 hours. After about 2 hours, stir mixture to ensure chicken is well coated in glaze.
4.  At the end of cooking time, mix 2T cornflour with sherry or cold water to form a smooth paste. Add to slow cooker, stir and allow to thicken.

This is a quick, easy and tasty slow cooked chicken recipe. No browning required and very few dishes! We served with Balsalmic Roasted Vegetable Salad and Broccoli. A delicious dinner on the night the AB's brought home the cup!

Recently I have experimented with this recipe. Try adding 4 - 6 peeled and halved potatoes. Half an hour before serving, remove potatoes and place in roasting dish, drizzle with olive oil. Place potatoes in oven at 200°C for approximately 30 minutes.
