I found this recipe a couple of months ago and have made it 3 times already. It's delicious! I definitely recommend that you use low sodium soy sauce. Also, I used both chicken thighs and breasts, but found that the breasts turned out too dry. Served this with steamed broccoli mixed in right before serving.

Very easy to prepare and the sauce cooks up thick and rich. Will try this with chicken flavored rice.

Used chicken wings and only cooked 3 hours. My 6yr old gave it a 100 + 100!! Hubby said it was a keeper. Had tons of sauce left over and used it in a stir-fry the next day! The other two like it as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets!!

After eating a lot of dry chicken in college, I was done with chicken. Every once in a while I would try a chicken dish and NO I did not like chicken. But, 5 years after college I gave this recipe a try and LOVED it. SOOOOO GOOD! I forgot I was eating chicken. :)

This recipe needs fruit to add to taste and eye appeal.

I don't often use my slow cooker but I was eager to try this recipe. I'm glad I did as it was delicious! I used low-sodium soy sauce and did not find it too salty. I am making it again today and I'm certain it will be a staple in our household.
