Preparation

Step 1

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

Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken.

Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker and pour remaining sauce into saucepan. Place 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 as it cools down).
