Sounds duller than shit... really. I measn it's like cheapo chicken
thighs, with nothing. That's cooking like Play-Doh is art. So bore-
ing even an Andy can do it.

Pulling your pud works too.

Currently in the crock pot is an idea for chicken that Andy
posted a while back. I've made it before, hopefully this time
I won't accidentally break a bowl into the finished dish:

Slow Cooked Chicken Thighs - Andy (RFC)

8 chicken thighs, extra fat removed
2 large onions, peeled, cut into 8ths
4 cloves garlic, peeled, bashed
Seasonings (Salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, cayenne, etc.)

Layer half of the onion chunks and garlic cloves in bottom
of large crock pot or slow cooker. Cover with 4 chicken thighs.
Season. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 5-6
hours.

Serving it with baked potatoes and some veggie, haven't decided
yet. The chicken smells wonderful...

I don't know why a crockpot would be used for such a dish. For dinner
tonight I baked a buncha chicken quarters, that took what, an hour or
so max? Used my own "ho' - made" bbq sauce, the result could not have
been more tender or flavorful...coulda done this on top of the stove
or in the broiler too. Easy as pie...

I use my crockpot to make chicken stock and I slow - cook stews and
soups in it using chicken as an ingredient, but chicken by itself is
pretty easily and quickly cooked using a stove...wouldn't waste my
time hauling out the crockpot simply for cooking chicken. And if I
did, I'd BROWN those thighs or whatever first on the stove...so you
might as well just use the stove in the first place.

"YMMV", natcherly...

mustard and a mountain fly lice... so easy an Andy can do it. <G>

It's a very good and flavorful dish.

You're suck a fickle and belligerent fart.



> I don't know why a crockpot would be used for such a dish.


You don't know much about crockpots or cooking. When was the last time you
saw a chef use a crockpot to make stock or soup? You've got it quite
backwards.

The point of using a crockpot last time I checked is so it can slow cook
foods all day so you can do other things.

Reminds me of your posting a couple years ago about too many toppings
ruining the taste of a hamburger. I see you've reversed your position yet
again, and for what, chicken thighs??

Same with your "Saffron sucks", "Saffron is great" contrary posts.

All these years and you still can't keep your "truths according to
Sheldon" straight.

HA!!!

Actually, I think a nice sweet and sour sauce would have improved your
recipe enormously. When I make one it includes the pineapple, peppers
and vinegar. The sauce is included in this sweet and sour ham recipe,
but cooked chicken is a natural for this too.

Sweet and Sour Ham

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Main Dishes Pork & Ham

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
20 ounces canned pineapple chunks
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 pound cooked ham -- cubed
1 large green pepper -- sliced thin
1/4 cup thin sliced onion
1 large carrot -- thinly sliced

Drain pineapple, save juice. Combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Add
pineapple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook and stir
over medium heat till thickened and bubbly.
Remove from heat and add ham cubes (or cooked pork if desired), reserved
pineapple, green pepper strips, onion, carrots. Heat up 2-3 min and
serve on rice.

Goomba38,

That was basically Sheldon's suggestion. I've got quite a few chicken
recipes. I didn't find his dish appreciably more challenging to make or
much more flavorful than my dish.

The onions and spices and some of the rendered chicken fat and juices made
for a delicious dish served over brown rice and leftovers heated and served
with au jus on hoagie rolls for breakfast was also excellent!

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

Yours sounds very good. But the reason I like doing this style
of chicken in the crockpot is a texture issue. It's so tender
after stewing for a few hours, and sometimes I'm in the mood
for that...
