Steps:
- Combine ingredients from the spice blend together and set aside.
- In a mini food processor, combine garlic, ginger and onion and pulse until it forms a paste.
- In the bottom of a slow-cooker placed on a burner (see IMPORTANT note below), heat olive oil and melt butter. Add pureed aromatics and stir well. Cook for a few minutes, then add spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Move aromatics to one side of the pot and add chicken pieces to the pot. Cook chicken slightly on all sides, using a sturdy wooden spoon to move it around the pot. It should get thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
- Open the cans of coconut milk and remove the cream from the top using a soup spoon. You should have about 1 cup. Pour the coconut milk over the chicken and with both cans, it should just barely cover the chicken.
- Drain the corn cobs and chop in half. Add to the slow-cooker.
- Place the slow cooker in the base and cook on low for 4 hours.
- Whisk cornstarch with coconut cream until smooth and add to the chicken. Stir well. Add frozen peas or other vegetables of your choice. Cook for another half an hour or until you deem the chicken cooked and the vegetables hot.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together ground pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt. Set aside for later use. Using a hand blender or food processor, combine garlic, ginger, and onion. Pulse until a chunky paste is formed. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil and butter. Add the garlic paste from above. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, enough time to allow the mixture to golden slightly in color. Sprinkle in the spice mix and stir well so that everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Allow the garlic and spice mixture to continue cooking on one side of the skillet, leaving the other side for searing the chicken. Once the chicken has slightly browned on all sides, mix with the garlic and spices. Put all the contents of the skillet into the slow cooker. Open the cans of coconut milk and spoon out the thick cream that rests atop the milk and set aside for later use. Add the coconut milk (not the thick cream) into the slow cooker and mix with the chicken. Also, toss in the chopped pepper. Cook on low heat for 4 hours. Once the time is up, add the thick cream from the coconut milk to the dish. Stir in and allow it to cook for another 30 minutes prior to serving.

Steps:
- Mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar and ginger and pour into a crock pot.
- Put in as many chicken thighs as can be covered with sauce.
- Cook 4 to 6 hours on low.
- I like to quickly crisp up the chicken under the broiler before serving.
Tips:
- To achieve a tender and flavorful chicken, choose bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs.
- Enhance the flavor of the dish by using a high-quality coconut milk. Look for unsweetened coconut milk in cans or cartons.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to suit your taste preferences. If you like a spicier dish, add more ginger. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount.
- For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the coconut ginger chicken with your favorite sides, such as jasmine rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
