Freezer Meal Group - April 2011

Before going on vacation I had to get freezer meals done. I will be dropping them off to my sister to swap for me later this week. We haven't eaten it yet so I will have to let you know how it is. I love it already because it was one of those super easy no cook the day of preparation recipes.

Slow Cooker Sticky Chicken
from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures
Printable Recipe

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp of minced ginger OR 1 tsp ground ginger
4 cloves of garlic, minced OR 1 tsp dried minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne or red pepper
3 lbs chicken, breast, thighs, legs, etc.
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup tomato paste

Combine 1/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp soy sauce , ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Place in a slow cooker and cook on low for about 4 hours or until done. When done place chicken in a broiler proof dish. Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, water, and tomato paste, and remaining soy sauce. Brush on chicken and cook under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until chicken is slightly crisp. But keep in eye on this while it is cooking under the broiler, things can cook quickly when broiling. (You may be tempted to skip the broiling, but it really does help give this a nice sticky and good texture.)
