Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 blood oranges
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy or tamari sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 whole chicken (cut into pieces)

Instruction

  • Juice the oranges. Finely chop the peel of one of the oranges.
  • In a medium bowl combine all other ingredients except chicken.
  • Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a 5-6 quart slow cooker. If the pieces won't all fit in one layer put the wings and backs on the top with the meat side down.
  • Add the orange sauce, shifting the pieces slightly to make sure all of them are covered with liquid.
  • Cook approximately 4-5 hours on low, until the chicken breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Remove one cup of the cooking liquid about 30 minutes before serving. In a small saucepan cook it down over medium heat until it is thickened. You may want to add a little more honey.
  • Place the chicken pieces on a foil lined baking sheet with skin side up. Brush the chicken with the glaze and broil for about 5 minutes until browned.
