Addie staff in the kitchen: Slow cooker chicken
These delicious chicken thighs will have the family coming back for more.
Today, we borrowed a recipe from our colleagues at Get It Joburg East and discovered that easy-to-make food really can be very tasty.
Ingredients
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil.
• 6 bone-in or boneless chicken thighs or breasts.
• Salt.
• Freshly ground black pepper.
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce.
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce.
• 2 tbsp sriracha – we discovered Wellington’s sriracha chilli tomato sauce on the local supermarket shelves and decided to use this instead. If choosing to use chilli tomato sauce, combine the necessary quantities of sriracha and tomato sauce and use approximately 1/3 of this sauce and 2/3 plain tomato sauce.
• 1/4 cup honey.
• 3 cloves garlic, minced.
• 15gr freshly chopped ginger.
• Juice of 1 lime.
• Cooked rice or other vegetables, for serving.
• Freshly chopped cilantro, for garnish.

e skipped this step and it made no difference to the final product.
Step 5: Cover and cook until no longer pink, on low for 6 hours or high for 2 hours. Serve with vegetables and garnish with cilantro.
