I just made this. WOW! was it good! I was out of Thai Sweet Chili sauce. I faked it. [1 TBS Chili powder, 1 "glug" (heavy TBS lime juice), 1 TBS Sriracha, 1/3 cup more of honey.] Cooked on High for 4 hours. Stripped the skin off the chicken thighs. Added 4x sliced mushrooms. Cooked for another hour. Added two heaping handfuls of spinach leaves. Cooked for 30mins and started Cilantro-Lime rice in the cooker. Added 4x heaping TBS cornstarch slurry mix. Served on rice. This thickens up to a great gravy. Left over gravy is going on pasta tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe. I mixed all the spices, and wet stuff in a bowl, dumped on the chicken and potatoes in the pot, hand tumbled, and left it alone. You could probably omit the olive oil. Enough fat will render out of the skin-on chicken, you'll have enough natural oil.
I've got this in the slow cooker right now, and will be having it for dinner tonight, plus (hopefully) making some freezer meals with the chicken. My husband was the chef in our house and could literally make anything. He was hugely talented. He passed away not long ago, so now I'm learning to cook. This will be the second crockpot recipe I've tried. Your tutorial is so clear and easy to follow, and I have high hopes for the outcome!
I made this today, it was delicious and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband had an extra helping, 😀, he’s had throat cancer and struggles to eat meat especially chicken, but he ate this, no problem, so it will be making a regular appearance on our family menu. Thank you 🙏♥️xx
Looks tasty. To avoid some of the oil on top, you could either skip the olive oil (the chicken will provide it's own) or remove the skin before you start (since you are cooking in sauce, it won't dry out). And, if you are going to serve with rice, skip the potatoes in favour of some less-starchy veggies. I'd use cabbage, peppers, carrots, parsnips... and get lots of different nutrients and flavour!
Little tip you can always throw chicken in a hot pan for a minute or two before cooking to get an even nicer sear and slight crunch on that chicken skin
@@tonyobrannigan9784 if the store wasn't 35 minutes from the where I live I'd would've already tried it. But still on the list of next meal or two I have to try it.
They way you break it down step by step and the fact that when your talking your actions are matching what your doing at the moment its very very helpful please Keep doing this ♥️
This is currently in my crockpot and from what my roommate says (I'm at work) the entire house smells fabulous. He keeps saying he wants to taste what's in there and I have to keep telling him - "If you open that crockpot, I'll make you watch me eat the entire meal." So far, so good. Can't wait to get home...... You and your recipies are top of the line. I am completely hooked on your channel.
Made this twice so far - both times it came out WONDERFUL. The second time I did it, I didn’t have lemon juice so I substituted white cooking wine instead and I added frozen peas & fresh red bell peppers to a box of chicken rice pilaf (Near East brand) and it still came out really good!!! So good in fact that my extremely picky (6 & 7 yr old) grandchildren ate ALL OF IT and they almost never do that - unless I cover something in ketchup! Thanks for the recipe. It’s a keeper for sure!! ❤
I am a OTR truck driver and make things in my crockpot all the time when I am on the road and this is absolutely going to be next because it looks fantastic and delicious.
I browned the chicken skin side down in a pan only for about 1min to fry off a bit of fat but still left enough fat in the skin so the chicken didn't dry out in the slow cooker and it also browned the skin which meant I didn't need to use the blow torch method at the end then followed your recipe and it was amazing so thank you.
I used a slotted spoon and put them on an aluminum foil covered baking sheet and broiled so I didn’t have to flip and risk tearing the chicken apart. It worked pretty well but make sure you stay there and watch it so you don’t burn the chicken.
I made this today but without the potatoes. I served it with yellow rice and broccoli and it was very tasty. I will continue to cook this. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING DISH. I did this but put it in a cast iron pan in the oven. Cooked at 385 for about an hour and a half. Then took foil off broiled on high for about 20 min. Came out amazing.
I'm semi retired, I don't do Fast Food @all. I'm going to Target & buy me a Slow Cooker; truth B told, I've thought about buying one 4a long time now, & this recipe only Inspired me. Thank U Lady Claudia, it looks so delicious, can't wait to taste how mine came out....
I just happened to be looking for chicken recipes and they all look so good and easy. Love the slow cooker chicken recipes. I am disabled and by the time I finish cooking in the evening I can barely function. I will definitely be trying all the slow cooker recipes. Thank you. Love your sweet voice.
I agree. I love my crock-pot being so easy to just set it up & let it work it's magic. Being a little older now, it's certainly a helpful tool. It's been a blessing to my hubby & I. These days if I'm not using that, it's the air fryer or George Foreman grill. We are all for the easy appliances as well. We're also on a fixed income so we eat almost all our meals at home bcuz even fast food has gotten so pricey, so, it's nice having the easier options to help is out at home.
I am disabled too,Margaret,& always looking for easy do not have to stand over a pan dishes,cuz my legs cannot take standing much,anymore,& this looks delicious! God bless my dear sister,hope we both have found another easy dish to make! 😇🙌🥰👍
Have tried this dish today without adding mustard, oregano,Olive oil. Add in bay leaves instead...Truly thank you for this awesome flavour mouth watering recipe...I had 2 plate of rice...
I didn't have time to do this in a slow cooker so I just let it all marinate for about an hour at room temp and then threw it in the oven at 400 for about 30 minutes. I turned up to broil for 5 more minutes to finish it off. Probably one of the best meals I've ever made. And so easy.
I am not a cook by any means, but I only had chicken breast available at the time. I had all the ingredients except for the lemon. I started by making the sauce and chopping up everything. Then, I simply threw everything into the crock pot. I was worried because in the video, the dish was swimming in juices, and I wondered if I had forgotten something. However, I shrugged it off and cooked it on high for 6 hours. When I returned home, it was indeed swimming in juices, and my house smelled amazing. The taste was even better than the smell! It was truly amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and helping someone like me, who doesn't know much about cooking! Haha.
This is my new crockpot recipe favorite! Second time cooking this in a week! I even bought the same crockpot to cook it in. Twice is nice! Thank you Claudia for your simply delicious recipes!😍
Great recipe! I just seared my chicken thighs in a skillet with olive oil and butter to give the skin a nice crunch on the outside before I put it in the crockpot.
Just made this tonight. Absolutely fabulous! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. P.S. I used boneless, skinless thighs. 3 hours on high. Melt in your mouth!
I took advice from the comments and seared the chicken skin side down in the pan first and then put it in the slow cooker. I also added baby carrots. Then followed the recipe to a T. At the end, I pulled the chicken from the crock pot and put it on a baking sheet and broiled the skin side for 3 minutes. I made this for my Dad's birthday! It was a hit with everyone! Going into the list of favorites! Thank you for making my Dad's birthday dinner a hit!
I made this today. Was good AF! Thank you, Claudia, you are great! Did it with meal-prep in mind, and I have some for this week for lunch. Best lunch at the office, I bet! My girl! I like the way you start with a greeting when you start your videos. Killer content.
I made this today and I can’t tell you how grateful I am I found your channel I’m constantly struggling to cook deliciously within budget, plus picky eaters at home. It’s a weekly struggle. I’m also making your rice tonight as well. Do you have a book ???
Seared the thighs and put into a French cast iron enamel pan since I was using the crock pot to make broth. Cooked on 170 degrees for 5 hours, left in the oven for 2 more hours since I was playing golf and wouldn't be home. We ate it over rice that I had made with broth the day before. Very yummy. I did fall off the Keto wagon with this sweet gem but it was totally worth it. (I also had to make my own chili sauce with chutney and hot pepper flakes but it worked out fine.) Thanks for this recipe!!
I just made this and it's literally incredible. I added carrots to roast in the pot as well to add in some vegetables and they were a nice addition. This is my new favorite recipe!
It sounds like she's says paired cup of chili sauce, what is a paired cup? Google does not bring up anytjing. Excited to make this dish and I want to get it right.
@@lonewanderer_n7 Carrots could probably go in at the beginning because they’re so hard. I was thinking about green beans and I would probably do those separately or maybe like an hour before it’s done
I didn't have any potatoes besides sweet potatoes, so that's what's in my crockpot right now! Can't wait to try this. I used Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, so hopefully they'll be easy for us to eat right away (especially my kids)
Claudia, I’m about to try your recipe. I’m not much of a chef but we just got a new slow cooker. I’m gonna do my best, with your guidance I will do great. Thank you.
Trying this tonight. It's already cooking in my crockpot as I write this. It's already smelling so damn good. My husband is impatiently waiting for it to finish. Will also be having Spanish rice and buttery biscuits as my sides.
I just got done making this and had a piece with some white rice. First time I made it, and ohhhh my goodness….every one needs to make as well. I cut the oil down to one tablespoon and added a teaspoon each of paprika and cayenne pepper and it had the perfect back end around the top of my mouth. Thank you soooo much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try more of your suggestions!!! 😁😁😁
I made this and it was terrific! The sauce really makes this recipe. However, I did not add the olive oil. There is enough fat naturally on the chicken.
Great recipe thanks for it I love using the crockpot since my chronic pain makes it hard to stand and cook for long periods of time. I would also think about layering my food instead of mixing it together put the potatoes on the bottom and then your soft vegetables onions mushrooms ET see in the middle and then the chicken on top so that the juices cook and fat cook down into the vegetables.
This was wonderful. At the last hour, I carefully transferred the thighs onto a baking sheet and threw them in the oven - 400 degrees, 15-20 minutes. This browns them nicely. Then I added a small amount of heavy cream to the sauce before returning the thighs to the slow cooker.
I made this last night and my husband loved it! One of his new favorites. P.S- I love all her recipes. All the ones I have tried has come out great. Can’t go wrong 🙂
This will be the 2nd dish I’ve made from this page. My man loved itttt!!! It’s delicious 😋 I did 7 thighs and ate it with yellow rice and steamed broccoli.. disappointed there are no leftovers, I’ll prob double it next time looking for a 3rd video 👀
MAN OOOH MAN !!!!!!HEADED OUT TO THE STORE LOL 😍totally making that with the yellow rice thanks sooo much for sharing have a great BLESSED day today in our LORD GOD and SAVOR JESUS CHRIST bye
I made this recipe the other evening for dinner and I also made yellow rice and it is so delicious! I only had whole potatoes, so I cut them into pieces and used them. They were so delicious! Almost tasted like sweet potatoes. Will definitely make this recipe again (and again)! Ty!
I just made this today and It was soo good and flavorful! I couldn't stop thinking about eating the leftovers the next day! Amazing! Definitely a recipe that I will keep!
Personally, I would mix everything in a bowl, then dump it in the slow cooker...rather than trying to stir/mix everything in the cooker. And I would take the skins off before cooking. (save them to make stock) But I have saved this and can't wait to try it.
I made this the other night and I’m sorry me and the family didn’t like it I eat anything but I couldn’t eat it even it was way too sweet and oregano does not go well with the other ingredients I don’t know if it was too dry because I did remove the skin but did not like the flavour also

I made this recipe, as a last-minute plan for new years with my neighbors (of course, with plenty of cook-time) and it good rave reviews. Great job! Thank you.
I made this and the smell of seasoning worried me the first few hours. Then it all came together. This is absolutely amazing. I used the same amount of sweet chili sauce, it was a little too hot for my taste. I love the flavor so i'll cut it in half next time. I'm making it for a second time in a row
Made this for the 2nd time. 2nd time was better than the 1st. Only because I made the sauce and (used) chicken breast and marinated over night in fridge. Then started cooking it around 10am (eastern Sydney NSW, Australia time) and tasted heaps better.
This looks scrumptious (that word needs to be used more!) and I'm putting it together tonight and will take the crock out of the fridge and start it in the morning. Dinner tomorrow will be an event! But as I looked at the video it occurred to me that some button mushrooms would be terrific in this !! Thanks Claudia, I just subscribed ....
Thank you for this recipe... Love the short and sweet video, like to watch videos when all the items are precut and ready to go...nothing more annoying then watch someone cutting veggies.... This looks amazing 👍 👍 🇨🇦 ..,.can't wait to try this
Made this tonight and it was so nice! Everyone loved it. If I made again I’d maybe add a little less honey and a bit more soy as it’s pretty sweet. Also used the Instant pot for ~20mins which was perfect (tried 12 first but potatoes were too hard). Thankyou!
EDIT: I came home during lunch to see if it was going okay. It never started cooking even though I put it on low. I don't know if it was the outlet or my crock pot, but now it amounts to lost money. I am hurt. I've prepared this with 8 thighs, all else same, and put the crock insert, lid on, in the fridge, so I can start it in the morning before work. My crockpot is small. So except for forgetting the oil until after but before the sauce I layered instead of mixing around before the sauce. I used yellow/yukon gold potatoes and cut them up. I'll be at work when you suggest adding corn starch, so I just stirred that starch/water mixture into the sauce, heating it all a bit to dissolve better, before pouring the sauce into the crock. I hope it all turns out wonderful! I'll be making yellow rice like you did using a recipe I found elsewhere.
Thank you for having details people usually leave out, like exactly how much salt and pepper you used. “To taste” is difficult if you’re making an entire recipe, not just one serving.
I just made this yesterday following the exact recipe just a little less because I only made 4 pieces of chicken but it came out really delicious. A little different than what I’m used to but it tasted really good. Highly recommend skimming the oil from the top so it’s not super greasy but besides that really good and easy to do my boyfriend even enjoyed the meal. Thank you!
It didn’t need any browning in my opinion! It came out delicious and so flavorful. Excellent blend of sweet and spicy! I did leave on the chicken skin and I did not need olive oil because there was enough fat.
Alternatively, you can use boneless/skinless chicken thighs, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. If you go this route, I'd pull the chicken a half hour before serving, and shred it, before replacing it in the sauce. This will ensure that every bite is flavorful and juicy. This is the best route to go if you intend to serve over rice in a bowl. Similarly, you can use russet potatoes instead of the waxier red/gold potatoes. If you opt to go this route, wait until the last 90 minutes before adding them, or they'll completely fall apart. Personally, I'd use half the oil in this recipe for cooking. The thighs release plenty of their own as the fat in them renders throughout the slow cooking process.
@@KariIsSoVery If you do, I'd also suggest turning your crock up to high, to make sure that they cook through fully. I've had cases where 90 minutes on low didn't cook Russets, but high did. I've also had cases where 90 minutes on high disintigrated the Russets, which essentially turns them into a thickener. I know crockpots are supposed to be set and forget cooking utensils, but certain things require more attentiveness than others.
@@dwaynesgirl6117 My family & me loved it! We ate it last night and tonight also! Thanks🙋♀️☀️ I will be trying more of your recipes. It’s so easy and I will be using my slow cooker more often.💯
We saw this, and I've never cooked. So we have this in the crockpot cooking! Me and my kids through it together. We didn't have the chili so we thru in some saracha sauce and skipped the Mustard since I'm highly allergic. Now we just wait...😋
Thank U so much for speaking to us normally and not slowly as if u were speaking to little children!! I turn off most channels when d chef starts doing that! Its frustrating! I intend to make this sometime this week!
I'm late seeing this video. My slow cooker has been sitting in my storage bin for ages because I just don't know what to do with it, OR really how to use it properly. I'm going to try this either tonight or tomorrow...thank you so much for this, beloved.
I stayed true to your sauce but I wanted to braise this in my dutch oven in the oven instead of using a crock pot. Since I was using a dutch oven I was able to sear my chicken first. Put a few tablespoons of flour and a little salt and pepper into a plastic bag and put your chicken pieces in the bag and shake them in the dredge. Then put your 2 tablespoons of oil in the dutch oven and heat it. Sear the flour dredged chicken in the oil to get a nice golden color on it. This will also create some flour/oil mix in the bottom of the pan and create a sort of "roux" which will naturally thicken your sauce so you won't need the corn starch. Put the onions, potatoes, sauce, and oregano into the dutch oven, cover, and put into a 300 degree oven for about 2 hours. I ended up adding a bit of water to mine since the amount of sauce the recipe makes didn't cover my chicken and potatoes. But it came out yummy!
I just made this. WOW! was it good! I was out of Thai Sweet Chili sauce. I faked it. [1 TBS Chili powder, 1 "glug" (heavy TBS lime juice), 1 TBS Sriracha, 1/3 cup more of honey.] Cooked on High for 4 hours. Stripped the skin off the chicken thighs. Added 4x sliced mushrooms.

I was really wondering if I could skip the oil. Thank you so much ❤
I'd like to skip the oil and the potatoes actually. I think her sauce and chicken looks bomb though.
Root vegetables with this recipe would be fantastic
Little tip you can always throw chicken in a hot pan for a minute or two before cooking to get an even nicer sear and slight crunch on that chicken skin
Also, I was thinking you could put the chicken pieces under the broiler before serving.
Yes to broiler or to hot pan. Either way that chicken is going to taste a lot better if that skin is nice and crispy.
I will actually try this recipe because it was short, sweet, concise, and you didn't say like and subscribe 20 times. Well done.

I can't help but feel carrots would go amazing in this dish as well.
Some fresh green onions too!

At the end, I pulled the chicken from the crock pot and put it on a baking sheet and broiled the skin side for 3 minutes. I made this for my Dad's birthday! It was a hit with everyone! Going into the list of favorites! Thank you for making my Dad's birthday dinner a hit!
i'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
I made this today. Was good AF! Thank you, Claudia, you are great! Did it with meal-prep in mind, and I have some for this week for lunch. Best lunch at the office, I bet! My girl! I like the way you start with a greeting when you start your videos. Killer content.
I made this today and I can’t tell you how grateful I am I found your channel
I’m constantly struggling to cook deliciously within budget, plus picky eaters at home.
It’s a weekly struggle.
I’m also making your rice tonight as well.
Do you have a book ???
This was dinner for me and my 2 daughters. We loved it thank you so much
Seared the thighs and put into a French cast iron enamel pan since I was using the crock pot to make broth. Cooked on 170 degrees for 5 hours, left in the oven for 2 more hours since I was playing golf and wouldn't be home. We ate it over rice that I had made with broth the day before. Very yummy. I did fall off the Keto wagon with this sweet gem but it was totally worth it. (I also had to make my own chili sauce with chutney and hot pepper flakes but it worked out fine.) Thanks for this recipe!!
Susan was that 170 degrees ( F) or ( C ) ty
@@dizziechef9502 F - lowest setting my oven would go. I was trying to emulate the crock pot.
I just made this and it's literally incredible. I added carrots to roast in the pot as well to add in some vegetables and they were a nice addition. This is my new favorite recipe!
Great job! :)
It sounds like she's says paired cup of chili sauce, what is a paired cup? Google does not bring up anytjing. Excited to make this dish and I want to get it right.
@@raephaelemasirnille5794 she says “one third cup” (1/3) and the ingredient list is in the description
@@lonewanderer_n7 Carrots could probably go in at the beginning because they’re so hard. I was thinking about green beans and I would probably do those separately or maybe like an hour before it’s done
I didn't have any potatoes besides sweet potatoes, so that's what's in my crockpot right now! Can't wait to try this. I used Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, so hopefully they'll be easy for us to eat right away (especially my kids)
This is one of my husband’s favourite dishes, mine too. I have made it several times. It is absolutely mouth watering. Thank you Claudia
Claudia, I’m about to try your recipe. I’m not much of a chef but we just got a new slow cooker. I’m gonna do my best, with your guidance I will do great. Thank you.
Trying this tonight. It's already cooking in my crockpot as I write this. It's already smelling so damn good. My husband is impatiently waiting for it to finish. Will also be having Spanish rice and buttery biscuits as my sides.
I just got done making this and had a piece with some white rice. First time I made it, and ohhhh my goodness….every one needs to make as well. I cut the oil down to one tablespoon and added a teaspoon each of paprika and cayenne pepper and it had the perfect back end around the top of my mouth.
Thank you soooo much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try more of your suggestions!!! 😁😁😁
I made this and it was terrific! The sauce really makes this recipe. However, I did not add the olive oil. There is enough fat naturally on the chicken.
Did you use the torch to scorch the chicken?
@@XjtBA No, I just put the pieces under the broiler for just a minute (stood there and watched it) then plated and sauced everything before serving.
@@ShadeIsLikely , thx for sharing.
I think I would remove the skin and still add the olive oil. It's a much healthier fat.
Made it but discovered I was out of olive oil so I used toasted sesame oil instead. Still was AWESOME
I have Zatarains yellow rice, chicken thighs, and all the ingredients except for chilli sauce. I'll run to the store to get it. This looks amazing!!😋
Great recipe thanks for it I love using the crockpot since my chronic pain makes it hard to stand and cook for long periods of time. I would also think about layering my food instead of mixing it together put the potatoes on the bottom and then your soft vegetables onions mushrooms ET see in the middle and then the chicken on top so that the juices cook and fat cook down into the vegetables.
This was wonderful. At the last hour, I carefully transferred the thighs onto a baking sheet and threw them in the oven - 400 degrees, 15-20 minutes. This browns them nicely. Then I added a small amount of heavy cream to the sauce before returning the thighs to the slow cooker.
I made this last night and my husband loved it! One of his new favorites.
P.S- I love all her recipes. All the ones I have tried has come out great. Can’t go wrong 🙂
Hey, what did you serve this with?
@@buyi249 I did rice, broccoli and sautéed peppers for mine :)
This will be the 2nd dish I’ve made from this page. My man loved itttt!!! It’s delicious 😋 I did 7 thighs and ate it with yellow rice and steamed broccoli.. disappointed there are no leftovers, I’ll prob double it next time
looking for a 3rd video 👀
So glad you and your man loved it! :)
@@CookingWithClaudia0831🙋🏽♀️💕
MAN OOOH MAN !!!!!!HEADED OUT TO THE STORE LOL 😍totally making that with the yellow rice thanks sooo much for sharing have a great BLESSED day today in our LORD GOD and SAVOR JESUS CHRIST bye
Very, very nice and simple, thank you very much, we are waiting for new, simple recipes.
I made this for my family today and it was absolutely delicious! Gonna do it again. Tjank you
Glad you liked it!! :)
I make this recipe all the time, it’s so good! I add a jalapeño to mine for some spiciness to balance the sweetness.
Always looking for easy flavorful recipes to add to my rotation. This is absolutely the kind of dish I love!
I made this recipe the other evening for dinner and I also made yellow rice and it is so delicious! I only had whole potatoes, so I cut them into pieces and used them. They were so delicious! Almost tasted like sweet potatoes. Will definitely make this recipe again (and again)! Ty!
I just made this today and It was soo good and flavorful! I couldn't stop thinking about eating the leftovers the next day! Amazing! Definitely a recipe that I will keep!
Thank you so much! After finding your recipe here I have made it for dinner many times bc it is so easy&delicious! Whole family loves it! ❤️❤❤
Food is looking good as usual! I love using my crockpot.
This recipe is "Exquisitely DELICIOUS!!!!!!" Thank you 🙏🏿 Claudia for sharing with the masses 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Peace and love to you and yours ✊🏾
Personally, I would mix everything in a bowl, then dump it in the slow cooker...rather than trying to stir/mix everything in the cooker. And I would take the skins off before cooking. (save them to make stock) But I have saved this and can't wait to try it.
Thank god for your comment! Your opinion revolutionized this recipe. 🤦♂️
Same diffence
I made this the other night and I’m sorry me and the family didn’t like it
I eat anything but I couldn’t eat it even it was way too sweet and oregano does not go well with the other ingredients I don’t know if it was too dry because I did remove the skin but did not like the flavour also
The slow cooker is just a big bowl mixing in it makes no difference
@@mariapampanella3799I agree with every word. Big fail I'm afraid.
You really have the tastiest recipe for this dish!
This is in the slow cooker and smells divine!
Nice 😃 I hope you enjoyed it
😁👍Thank you for this version. I’ve included some ingredients I like, and I'll add them to my list for next month.

My slow cooker is going with something else right now when I found this. This looks amazing and will definitely be next!
I made this recipe, as a last-minute plan for new years with my neighbors (of course, with plenty of cook-time) and it good rave reviews. Great job! Thank you.
I made this and the smell of seasoning worried me the first few hours. Then it all came together. This is absolutely amazing.
I used the same amount of sweet chili sauce, it was a little too hot for my taste. I love the flavor so i'll cut it in half next time.
I'm making it for a second time in a row
New family favorite. Makes your house smell delicious is an understatement. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
This really looks great, I'm going to have to try this.
Ditto 👍
Thanks Claudia made this tonight in my new slow cooker, lovely, will have a look at your other slow cooker recipes!
I would Sauteed onions garlic and bell peppers add carrots with mushrooms omg.
Why sauteed when using a slow cooker? That would be redundant.
I made this without the olive oil come out perfectly thank u much appreciated
Made this for the 2nd time. 2nd time was better than the 1st. Only because I made the sauce and (used) chicken breast and marinated over night in fridge. Then started cooking it around 10am (eastern Sydney NSW, Australia time) and tasted heaps better.
This is the second recipe I have tried, so quick so flavorful, so good.
Really, really good. I made it last night. No leftovers!
I made this last night and oooohhhhhh my gosh. It was sooooo good!! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. My husband and I loved it!! 🥰🥰
This looks scrumptious (that word needs to be used more!) and I'm putting it together tonight and will take the crock out of the fridge and start it in the morning. Dinner tomorrow will be an event! But as I looked at the video it occurred to me that some button mushrooms would be terrific in this !! Thanks Claudia, I just subscribed ....
I also thought how nice some mushrooms would be in there. They would soak up the flavours.
AMAZING DISH!!! Looks absolutely delicious 🍽️💯😋❤️
This is one of my favorite meals to make! It is soooo good!
Thank you for this recipe... Love the short and sweet video, like to watch videos when all the items are precut and ready to go...nothing more annoying then watch someone cutting veggies.... This looks amazing 👍 👍 🇨🇦 ..,.can't wait to try this
I made this for one of our bulk cooking meals for the month. Omg! It was delicious! This recipe is a keeper 😋
So I'm guessing you froze portions?? if so did they freeze well?
@@THEELDER1 Yes they did freeze well. Tasted even better 😋
@@rocker76m88
Thanks!
😎
@@THEELDER1 No problem 👍
I’m going to cut the brown sugar and cornstarch to lower the glycemic index. Can’t wait to taste this, thanks!
Made this tonight and it was so nice! Everyone loved it. If I made again I’d maybe add a little less honey and a bit more soy as it’s pretty sweet. Also used the Instant pot for ~20mins which was perfect (tried 12 first but potatoes were too hard). Thankyou!
nice, i'll have to try using the Instant pot for this too
Don’t use honey or potatoes; instead use Green Bell-Peppers, and Chillies.
Like you used the pressure cooker option or the slow clook option?
Can I use the pre made honey garlic sauce to make it more easier?
OMG! This is cooking in my kitchen right now. Oh! The amazing smell!! 😋 We can hardly wait!
EDIT:
I came home during lunch to see if it was going okay. It never started cooking even though I put it on low. I don't know if it was the outlet or my crock pot, but now it amounts to lost money. I am hurt.
I've prepared this with 8 thighs, all else same, and put the crock insert, lid on, in the fridge, so I can start it in the morning before work. My crockpot is small. So except for forgetting the oil until after but before the sauce I layered instead of mixing around before the sauce. I used yellow/yukon gold potatoes and cut them up. I'll be at work when you suggest adding corn starch, so I just stirred that starch/water mixture into the sauce, heating it all a bit to dissolve better, before pouring the sauce into the crock. I hope it all turns out wonderful! I'll be making yellow rice like you did using a recipe I found elsewhere.
Thank you for having details people usually leave out, like exactly how much salt and pepper you used. “To taste” is difficult if you’re making an entire recipe, not just one serving.
I added sweetcorn and green peas when I made it a few weeks ago. Turned out amazing. Making again soon might try carrots and red onion.
I just made this yesterday following the exact recipe just a little less because I only made 4 pieces of chicken but it came out really delicious. A little different than what I’m used to but it tasted really good. Highly recommend skimming the oil from the top so it’s not super greasy but besides that really good and easy to do my boyfriend even enjoyed the meal. Thank you!
Just curious, how is meat and potato’s different from what your used too?
It didn’t need any browning in my opinion! It came out delicious and so flavorful. Excellent blend of sweet and spicy! I did leave on the chicken skin and I did not need olive oil because there was enough fat.
love how u use sweet chili compared to everyone else using ketchup...this was perfect!
Nothing beats a crockpot meal! Awesome video! 😃
Agreed! Thank you 😃
This looks delicious! I will add the missing ingredients to my shopping list for next week so I can make this too. Thanks for sharing.
Alternatively, you can use boneless/skinless chicken thighs, and cook on low for 8-10 hours. If you go this route, I'd pull the chicken a half hour before serving, and shred it, before replacing it in the sauce. This will ensure that every bite is flavorful and juicy. This is the best route to go if you intend to serve over rice in a bowl.
Similarly, you can use russet potatoes instead of the waxier red/gold potatoes. If you opt to go this route, wait until the last 90 minutes before adding them, or they'll completely fall apart.
Personally, I'd use half the oil in this recipe for cooking. The thighs release plenty of their own as the fat in them renders throughout the slow cooking process.
Fantastic advice, thank you!
I'll try the russet potatoes. Thanks!!!
@@KariIsSoVery If you do, I'd also suggest turning your crock up to high, to make sure that they cook through fully. I've had cases where 90 minutes on low didn't cook Russets, but high did. I've also had cases where 90 minutes on high disintigrated the Russets, which essentially turns them into a thickener. I know crockpots are supposed to be set and forget cooking utensils, but certain things require more attentiveness than others.
Thank you so much for these suggestions, my daughter can't eat chicken on the bone.
@@GlencoeLaird only if you don't know how to cook
Thanks!
Thanks a lot
I made this for dinner yesterday. It was perfect and absolutely delicious. Will be making this again and probably again.
Yep, I'll be trying this tonight! Thank you for sharing this!
Making this tomorrow, bought all ingredients today! Can’t wait to have this for dinner. TY🙋♀️
How did it turn out?
@@dwaynesgirl6117 My family & me loved it! We ate it last night and tonight also! Thanks🙋♀️☀️ I will be trying more of your recipes. It’s so easy and I will be using my slow cooker more often.💯
We saw this, and I've never cooked. So we have this in the crockpot cooking! Me and my kids through it together. We didn't have the chili so we thru in some saracha sauce and skipped the Mustard since I'm highly allergic. Now we just wait...😋
I ate the ingredients raw and put myself in the slow cooker. Was also yummy.
😂
Thank U so much for speaking to us normally and not slowly as if u were speaking to little children!! I turn off most channels when d chef starts doing that! Its frustrating! I intend to make this sometime this week!
This is so simple and the result looks so amazing :o Definitely gonna try this one!
you will love it :)
Absolutely delicious.
Made it tonight. Easy and delicious.
I'm late seeing this video. My slow cooker has been sitting in my storage bin for ages because I just don't know what to do with it, OR really how to use it properly. I'm going to try this either tonight or tomorrow...thank you so much for this, beloved.
This looks amazing!! I would add my potatoes in during the last hour of cooking time.
I have this in my croc pot right now and it should be done about 6pm Atlanta time, thank you!!! The house smells amazing already lol
I stayed true to your sauce but I wanted to braise this in my dutch oven in the oven instead of using a crock pot. Since I was using a dutch oven I was able to sear my chicken first. Put a few tablespoons of flour and a little salt and pepper into a plastic bag and put your chicken pieces in the bag and shake them in the dredge. Then put your 2 tablespoons of oil in the dutch oven and heat it. Sear the flour dredged chicken in the oil to get a nice golden color on it. This will also create some flour/oil mix in the bottom of the pan and create a sort of "roux" which will naturally thicken your sauce so you won't need the corn starch. Put the onions, potatoes, sauce, and oregano into the dutch oven, cover, and put into a 300 degree oven for about 2 hours. I ended up adding a bit of water to mine since the amount of sauce the recipe makes didn't cover my chicken and potatoes. But it came out yummy!
This kind of thing is comfort food, memories that stay with you from childhood., all that delicious sauce mixed into the rice, scooped up, yum.
