CROCKPOT ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Thaw OJ and chicken. Mix OJ with brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, 1 tsp salt, cloves and ginger. Mix well. Set aside.
• 2. Wash chicken and pat dry. Cut into small cubes or strips. Toss into a mixing bowl along with pepper, paprika and rest of salt. Mix to coat.
• 3. Toss in enough flour to coat chicken. Mix.
• 4. Heat up enough olive oil in pan to brown chicken (don't crowd the chicken in the pan. Maybe you will have to do three batches. Use about 1-2 tablespoons olive oil per batch, making sure you wipe the pan clean after each time so flour bits don't burn).
• 5. Brown chicken (no need to cook it all the way through). After chicken is browned, set aside on plate lined with a paper towel.
• 6. After chicken is all browned, place it in a crockpot. Pour OJ mixture over the top. Give it a few mixes with a large spoon or spatula, cover, and set to medium / medium high for 3 hours.
• 7. After three hours, add half cup honey. Mix, cover and let cook for about another 2 hours, or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
• 8. When it is cooked all the way through, turn off crockpot, mix in the rest of the honey, adjust lid on a slant so about 1/4 of the pot is uncovered (sauce will thicken upon standing).
• 9. While it is thickening / resting, prepare whatever you want to serve it over... it is really good served with some wild or brown rice. Add chopped scallions or green onions on top. Enjoy!
