Review:
This is a recipe that I took from the first edition of the Woodward Family Cookbook (my Mom’s side of the family). This cookbook is an excellent resource and if you’re lucky maybe I will do a drawing to give one away 🙂 I adapted it to the slow cooker. When I was growing up I loved this dish and would always ask my mom to make it on my birthday. It turned out great! I love the flavor and kids will love it too. I tried to make it once in the oven with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it just didn’t turn out . So make sure to use bone in chicken. I used the Reynold’s Slow Cooker Liners this time because I knew the clean up would be torture. I loved them (I hadn’t used them yet)! I highly recommed them. 4 stars.
Could you use boneless, skinless chicken thighs? Or is the bone crucial and important? Do you serve each person a big piece of chicken with the bone still in it or do you take it all out and shred it off the bone before you serve it. I'm confused?
