Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki



One of my most favorite blogs is www.joyinmykitchen.blogspot.com.  She always makes lots of "real" food and always cooks in a healthy way.  She inspires me when I can think of nothing to cook!

I tried one of her recipes this week as I made Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki!  It was a huge success!  It was not sweet at all and made a great "take out chinese food" meal at home.  I think you could sweeten it up by increasing the honey but we liked it just like it turned out.  The sauce was rich and thick, thanks to the corn starch, and we loved it!

SnoWhite at Finding Joy in my Kitchen used only chicken legs when she made this dish.  Some of the members of my family prefer only white meat so I used both legs and boneless, skinless chicken tenders that you buy in the bag frozen.  Since they were tenders, I didn't thaw them first but if you are using a large piece of meat, you should start with thawed meat.  The legs, however, WERE thawed when I added them to the crockpot.  (I do prefer to remove the skin first when I cook chicken so I removeD the skin from the legs before adding to the crockpot).

Here's how I made Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki AT HOME MY WAY:

Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki
  • 6 pieces of uncooked chicken (I used legs and boneless skinless tenders)
  • 2 Tablespoons oil or some cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (the kind in the jar)
  • 1 cup water (cold)
  • 2 Tablespoons corn starch
Instructions:

Brush the bottom of your slowcooker with oil or spray with cooking spray.  Put the chicken in the slowcooker.  Mix the sauce ingredients (using COLD water), and pour over the meat.

Cook on low 8-10 hours.  I was home so I turned my chicken here and there to coat evenly while cooking.

The sauce turns out rich and thick!  I made some rice, steamed some broccoli and we were good to go.  Any steamed veges would be great and I would have made brown rice but mine had some critters in it and I had to use my supply of white longgrain rice (eek!).

Enjoy!

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world?   I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles.  Those are the best anyway, right?  That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch!  This recipe is super easy because you  don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed.   You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings.   Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate.  After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning.  (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen?  YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID!  We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour  (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening  (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk*  *NOTE:  (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag;  Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups).  Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl.  Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
