Indonesian Peanut Chicken
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 4 hours
YIELD: 6 servings.
Here’s a marvelous make-ahead recipe! I cut up fresh chicken, put it in a bag with the remaining slow-cooker ingredients and freeze it. To cook, just remove the bag a day ahead to thaw in the fridge, then pour all the contents into the slow cooker. —Sarah Newman, Mahtomedi, Minnesota
