I love this recipe. I use my elec skillet instead of a slow cooker or crock pot. I set it about 275 for about an hr or til the chichen is done. It comes out great!

This was so good! Thank you! I added onion salt instead of seasoned salt and it was great. I will make this again.

I would love a very good recipe for a slow cooker chicken curry?

Dear "twincook". Of course you can use boneless, skinless chicken? However, you get a little bit of better flavor with bone-in.

You can NEVER go wrong with peppers, onions and garlic.

I made this (without the browning sauce) and it was fine. But I prefer the Slow Cooked Lemon Chicken Breasts. But I will try adding the peppers, onions and garlic to both recipes next time.

Do you think I could use boneless, skinless chicken?

I used a wild turkey breast and added peppers, onions and garlic. The next day, I thickened the juice with four, and added chicken base, a splash of red wine, a dash of sugar and a can of veggie broth. I served it over noodles, a few tomatoes and some swiss cheese. I thought it was fantastic! And I will use the rub again! Thanks for the great recipe!

Browning sauce simply adds color to any sauce or gravy. I don't believe it adds any flavor - just makes it deep,rich colorl.

I know of two.  Maggi and Kitchen Bouquet.  I like both of them.  Excellent in homemade gravies.
