Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Place chicken (frozen, thawed or fresh) inside slow cooker.

Mix together the sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper, and pour over chicken.

Remove chicken from slow cooker (it should basically fall apart) and pour remaining sauce into a saucepan over high heat.

Mix together corn starch and water, pour into saucepan, and mix well. Let sauce come to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken and turns into a glaze.

Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue to thicken when it cools)

This can be served over rice or noodles, but we had ours with a baked potato on the side (It's good on top of the potato too!)
