The other day I decided to break out my crock pot and I made a wonderful dish: Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken. Now, before you think it sounds too weird to eat, just hear me out. This chicken turned out so AMAZING with the perfect combination of sweet and spicy ingredients. I really enjoy crock pot recipes because they cook while your gone at work all day, and when you come home you are instantly welcomed by an amazing smelling dinner!
While putting this recipe together, I failed to read all the instructions in order. Instead of keeping the water and corn starch out until the very end to make a glaze on the stove, I combined all the ingredients for the slow cooker mixture. Thankfully, the dinner turned out fantastically anyway and I actually think it ended up better overall. It ended up with a soft thin glaze anyway as it cooked in the mixture, and this way I did not have to worry about creating a thicker glaze later on the stove.
In the recipe below, you will notice some of the text in black italics. I decided to follow the already modified version of the recipe and believe that it was certainly the way to go. It is up to you though, whether you want to just combine all ingredients in the morning or do a thicker glaze on the stove later in the day. Either way, I'm sure it will turn out great. I also added in some red pepper flakes to make it a bit more spicy. Charles and I really enjoy kicking up the spice in our foods. :)
