CAN I ADJUST THE SPICE LEVEL?
Absolutely! We love the balance in this recipe just as is, it’s not too sweet and not too spicy. However, if you prefer a spicier kick to it, add a bit of crushed red pepper or sriracha. Just make sure not to overdo it!
Can you use other cuts of chicken?
We love making this recipe with thighs because they are super juicy and flavorful. However, this dish is not limited only to thighs, and you can use any other parts.
Breasts, drumsticks or wings are the perfect alternatives. You can also try adding some bacon on top that will keep the chicken super moist and add additional flavor to it.

We often serve it with either brown or white rice and some roasted vegetables, such as asparagus, brussels sprout. Similarly, this recipe goes well with roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, and a salad. It’s a pretty flexible dish, so you have plenty of options to mix it with!
How to freeze it?
This dish freezes perfectly well. If you have leftover, simply transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. The night prior to serving, transfer it to the refrigerator to thaw, and serve the next day. You can warm it up and served as is, or mix it up with pasta, wraps, salads, and so many other meals.
Recipe Tips:
- We use a 7-quart Slow cooker. It is a bit bigger in size and perfect for a larger family as you can cook a larger portion and have leftovers for days to come.
- You can add a few orange slices on top toward the end of the cooking process. This will give the meat a nice citrusy flavor.
- Also, through cooking, sometimes we add sliced green, yellow and orange bell pepper and a small amount of sliced yellow onion to the crockpot.
- For better taste and flavor, try using fresh minced garlic instead of canned or powdered garlic.
