Savory Chicken Thighs

2 lbs. chicken thighs
peanut oil for frying*
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
2 thin slices ginger root
1/2 c. teriyaki sauce
1/2 c. water
2 Tbs. dry sherry
2 Tbs. brown sugar

Heat oil in a large deep skillet* (I broil them on a broiler rack to reduce
the fat). Quickly fry chicken until golden brown. Remove chicken and drain
all but a little of the oil. Stir in onion, garlic and ginger. Cook,
stirring, about
2 minutes. Blend together teriyaki, sherry, water and sugar. Add chicken
back to the pan; bring sauce just to the boil and then reduce the heat.
Cover and simmer about 40 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Also if
necessary thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry. Remove chicken to a
platter and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

NOTE: After the chicken is browned and the vegetables are sauteed, the
entire thing may be finished in a crockpot on HIGH (I did this the next day
at my desk), about 3 hours. Seal the crockpot well with foil and then put
the lid on. Use two large rubber bands to secure the lid by stretching the
bands from one handle, over the lid, to the other handle. Makes for secure
transport of a dish with sauce without messing up your car

YOU didn't do anything. You pretty much gave the entire recipe in just that
paragraph, and Tara acted as if you hadn't. The part of my post which you
snipped falls just about in line with your later post of the recipe, right?
So to my way of thinking, Tara should have been able to figure out the
recipe from what you had already written.

I dunno, maybe it just irks me when people fail to demonstrate any
comprehension or even give evidence that they've made any kind of effort to
understand what others write. Same thing as when others mention that a
recipe has been posted here before, but people are too lazy to use Google
and so they ask for a re-post instead.

(recipe snipped)

I know we will enjoy these at home and school. Our potlucks for work
are for after-school faculty meetings, so I will need a more
snack-sized serving. I think I'll try your recipe with diced
boneless chicken thighs or breasts. Ooooh, or maybe chicken
drummettes. So many people do bring in sweets to a potluck, and I
like to have a little something savory and substantial, even if for a
snack.
