Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large onions, sliced
1 -2 1/2 lb skinless chicken piece (I prefer boneless chicken)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chili sauce
4 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Place onion slices in electric skillet in a single layer.
  • Arrange chicken pieces on top of onion slices.
  • Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  • Mix remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Set control at medium.
  • Cook, covered for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low simmer setting and cook covered at least 2 hours.
  • Turn chicken pieces periodically, and baste with sauce.
  • Add a little amount of water at a time if sauce becomes too thick.

Tips

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the chicken plenty of room to brown and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much chicken to the skillet, it will steam instead of brown. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Brown the chicken well: This will give it a nice flavor and help it to stay moist.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
