Update on my Orange Chicken in the Crock Pot.

Posted on February 9, 2015

It turned out pretty well. The flavors kind of built over time as you ate it with the sweetness and mild heat. Even my father who has always been a picky eater tried it and said it wasn't too bad. He had 2 pieces of the chicken. I am pretty happy to say that these flavors all worked out pretty well together!

Oh and we left the Crock Pot on 200 degrees the whole time. I think they ate it after about 12 hours and turned it off and I turned it back on when I was ready to eat and ate it after 17 hours. I would say, it probably would have been ready after a shorter amount of time. You could probably put this in the Crock Pot in the morning before going to work and eat it for dinner that night.

Also, I do agree with the amount of liquid that I ended up with from cooking this that I could have cooked a lot more chicken in it or whatever protein source. I just didn't have any more on hand at the time. I didn't mean to use so much liquids to begin with, but it just kind of grew on me as I was going trying to make the flavor come out how I wanted it. Next time I think I will use some fresh pineapple instead of using a huge can of crushed pineapple and I think that will help bring the volume of it down some. The coconut and walnuts I sprinkled over it at the end before putting the lid on were an afterthought and while I think the coconut added something to it, I am not sure the walnuts did other than I like nuts.

I had one piece of this left from this batch and I froze it. I actually just took it out of the freezer this past Saturday and poured some water over it in a baking pan and baked it in the oven for about an hour at 350 degrees (I think it was done way before that since it had already been cooked but I wasn't ready to eat sooner). I cut it up into chunks and put it into a salad with some mixed greens, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, pineapple, and some chopped apple. It was really good this way too. I really enjoy mixing sweet and spicy flavors as well as some other flavors to try new things.
