I can't remember were this recipe came from, but I've been making it for several years. Everyone who tries it enjoys it. When the chicken is done cooking, it's so tender it falls off the bone.—Mrs. Patricia Weir, Chilliwack, British Columbia

It's a great meal, but a major mess to cleaning out my crock pot. Needless to say we enjoyed it over my homemade fried rice and it was a hit.

Loved this recipe! So yummy! Will definitely be making this again! Lots of extra sauce to put over rice.

Don't know what I did wrong. I followed directions except used boneless, skinless chicken breasts but my sauce turned out as thin as water -- not at all like the picture. When I boiled it it thickened up like the recipe said, but after sitting in the crockpot with the chicken it was like water. Other than that, the sauce tasted good and chicken was tender. I will use the recipe again because I like the ease of using a crockpot. Would welcome any comments/ideas regarding how to get the sauce to look like the picture. Was everyone else's thin also? Thanks.

My husband doesn't like bone-in chicken, so I used 6 breast cutlets. Very good. I increased the soy to 1/2 cup and used 1 tsp onion powder instead of dried minced onion. I served it over orzo. Other than that, I didn't change a thing. I'll definitely be making this again.

Wish I had used dark meat like the others. My chicken on bone was very dry - like overcooked. Sauce is delicious and will make again!

I made this chicken and my husband and his family loved it. I used a package of chicken thighs to have the dark meat and followed the rest of the recipe to a T. Had it in the slow cooker for about 5 hours and the chicken was so moist and delicious - it fell right off the bone. Yum! Very easy recipe that was delicious. This is a keeper!

Wonderful recipe. I didn't have a whole chicken but I had a bag of dark meat with skin on. Also used a whole onion instead of dried. Turned out great will make again. Nancy
