CROCK POT SOY GINGER CHICKEN



Crock Pot Soy Ginger Chicken image

This is wonderful served with rice, garnished with a cilantro sprig and some chopped scallions! From the food section of the Houston Chronicle. Drumsticks and thighs hold up to long, slow cooking without drying out. If you prefer, you can substitute all thighs or all drumsticks for the combination. This is also good with pasta such as linguine or fettuccine instead of the rice. Either way, there will be plenty of yummy sauce to go around!

Slow-cooked soy-glazed chicken image

Enjoy this soy-glazed chicken as two courses; shred the leg meat and wrap in lettuce leaves for a starter. Then, slice the breast meat and serve with rice

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 chicken (about 2kg)
small piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated (peel reserved)
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tbsp Shaohsing wine or dry sherry
2 tbsp soy sauce
150ml chicken stock
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 star anise
2 Little Gem lettuces, leaves separated
1 bunch of spring onions, trimmed and finely shredded
½ cucumber, cut into thin strips
1 red chilli, sliced
small bunch of coriander, chopped
50g roasted peanuts or cashews, roughly chopped
cooked rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Sit the chicken in a casserole dish, rub the marinade all over, and put the ginger peel in the cavity. Cover and leave at room temperature to marinate for 1 hr, or in the fridge overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the stock ingredients in a jug, then pour over the chicken. Roast for 1 hr, uncovered, then baste with the liquid in the dish. Roast for 30-40 mins more, basting every 10 mins, until the chicken is deep brown. Keep an eye on the glaze in the base of the dish - you may need to add a splash of water to keep it from burning.
  • Leave the chicken to rest for 20 mins, then transfer to a board. Skim the fat from the juices, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat. Shred the thigh and leg meat and wrap in the lettuce leaves along with the spring onions, cucumber, chilli, coriander and nuts. Slice the breast meat and serve withthe rice and warm roasting juices.
