Indonesian Chicken

This was a week of recipe testing.   I found this one over at A Year of Slow Cooking . I tweaked the recipe a little and it turned out delicious!

Indonesian Chicken

Ingredients:

        3-4 lbs Chicken

        2 Tbs Soy Sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat-free are GF)

        2 cloves Garlic, chopped

        2 Tbs Sugar

        1 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil

        1/3 cup Peanut Butter

        1/2 tsp Ground Ginger

        1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
        Red chili flakes, sprinkles

        Sesame seeds and lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Directions.

1. Put the peanut butter into your crockpot and turn it to high so it can begin to melt.
2. Add the remaining sauce ingredients.
3. Stir to mix.
4. Add the chicken.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. This is done when the chicken is cooked through and has reached desired tenderness. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will become, but it may fall off the bone if you cook too long.

Tip:
    If your crockpot isn't at least 2/3 full, keep an eye on it so the peanut butter doesn't burn.        You may need to stir a few times.

Enjoy!
