Delicious sauce! Reminded us a little of chicken adobo (Filipino dish) but with a sweet/spicy kick. I didn't have enough hoisin, so I added sesame oil, extra vinegar, and rice wine. I was also out of carrots so I used dried mushrooms. I cooked it on low, but the chicken was done after 2 hours, so the total cooking time was only 3 hours. Next time I'll add the broccoli after the first hour, so the chicken doesn't dry out. Since the cooking time is so short, I guess the same effect could be achieved on the stovetop. Or else maybe my crockpot is just too hot!
