Slow Cooking Thursday


The lovely Sandra is back from her vacation and is hosting Slow Cooking Thursday again. I've got a good chicken recipe for you today.

Saucy Sweet and Sour Chicken
2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks), skinned
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
hot, cooked rice

Place chicken in 4 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt. In a medium bowl, combine lemonade concentrate, brown sugar, ketchup and vinegar. Pour over chicken in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Transfer to serving platter, cover and keep warm.
For sauce, pour cooking liquid into a medium saucepan. Skim off fat. Combine cornstarch and water; stir into liquid in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with hot cooked rice. Serves 4- 6.

Oh you know?!?! I had this before when I was a kid and just adored it. I usually skip right by these posts because I don't cook, but now this dish I would love to eat again. Perhaps I will surprise my husband and make it for us some day. we do have a crock pot I just haven't used it for a few years:P perhaps I'll pull it out again!

Good Morning Mari!

I enjoyed catching up on your little corner of the world this morning :) Your recipe looks wonderful as usual, I love orange chicken, I wonder if you recipe would be good with orange juice instead of lemonade :)

I had fun with circle the cat but now I must get ready for work.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Kathi :)

My only regret is that it is officially too late to make this for dinner today! But I'll do something about that before the weekend. This sounds incredible and I know my family will love it as they totally dig that whole sweet/sour/chicken thing. Thanks, Mari luv! ~:-)

Yummmy! This sounds so good because my family loves Oriental cooking. I can see it served with steamed veggies over white jasmine rice!

Love and Hugs ~ Kat
