Slow Cooker Orange Chicken Thighs
Sounds really good, this is a must try for me. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, bone in, skin off, trimmed of any fat
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
- all purpose flour, to coat the chicken
Instructions
- Roll the chicken thighs in flour to coat, then place them in your slow cooker. The flour will thicken the sauce. Go with quarters and separate the thighs from the legs, you get larger thighs and legs for another meal.
- Add remaining ingredients to a bowl and mix, pour this over the chicken, move each thigh with a spoon to make sure the sauce is coating all parts of the thighs. Cover and cook on Low setting for 4 hours.
- Serve with rice and steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
Notes
Chicken quarters run about 80 Baht/kilo (quarters have the largest thighs). 4 quarters would be about 1 kilo, then you have 4 thighs for this recipe and 4 legs for another recipe. So I will figure about 50 Baht for the thighs. This is about 37 cents per serving for 4 servings, add in the broccoli, you might be approaching 50 cents per serving. Outstanding value.
Shortcut: Ketchup.
