Crock Pot Citrus Ginger Chicken

"This is one of my favorites. The flavor is best if you marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight or freeze in the sauce and thaw in the fridge overnight before cooking. This can also be baked in the oven in around 30 minutes. Serve over a bed of aromatic rice such as jasmine or basmati rice with a mix of steamed vegetables on the side."

  1. I made this for a crowd and did not get one comment from anyone. It was rather tasteless and the chicken was dry. Will not make this again.
     
  2. This was very nice! The ginger is very strong, but the citrus comes through as well. I halved the recipe and baked in the oven instead of the crock pot - 25 minutes at 350 was perfect. Served over rice. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. This is fantastic and very company worthy. I made as directed, but cooked on low for 6 hours as my slow cooker cooks very fast. The chicken was very moist and flavorful and the sauce was great spooned over the steamed veggies and rice I added to this meal. Thanks for posting this recipe.
     
  4. I used wings and froze it as suggested. Loved it!!! The flavour went right through the meat.

I am married and a father of 2. I love to hunt, fish, trap, hike, rock climb, camp, garden and cook. By trade I am a welder, but I also make knives and am a semi-professional blacksmith. My family and I live on a self-sustainable homestead. We raise a big garden of heirloom vegetables. I collect antique varieties of apple, pear, plum, quince, cherry, mulberry and grapes. We raise meat rabbits, chickens for meat and eggs and we raise 2 breeds of pigs. I make my own beer, cider, perry and wine. I also have a medicinal garden from which I make a lot of herbal remedies. I use organic, self sufficient practices with everything I raise to eat and plan on teaching this to my kids as they grow up.
