Preparation

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces. Place in slow cooker.

On medium heat, add sauce ingredients to saucepan. Heat until slightly thickened.

Pour about half the sauce over chicken and save remaining sauce, be sure to include ginger and garlic pieces. Turn slow cooker to low and let cook for about 4 hours. The sauce won't cover all the chicken, but turn it once or twice throughout to coat both sides.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Line baking pan with foil and place cooked chicken pieces skin side up. Discard remaining liquid from slow cooker.

Spoon or brush chicken with reserved sauce and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep basting chicken every 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with poi or hot rice.
