Note

For added sweetness, stir 1/2 cup of molasses or honey into the sauce before pouring it over the chicken.

The remaining sauce in the slow cooker makes a delicious gravy. Let it cool slightly, skim off excess fat, and serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or macaroni.

This recipe is a quick "desperation" meal that delivers surprisingly complex flavors, similar to Hunter's Chicken.

If using a larger chicken, you may need to extend the cooking time by 30-60 minutes. Always verify doneness with a meat thermometer.
