Chicken dish - 3 ingredients and a slow cooker

You will remember from my last post that I bought a slow cooker. 

Below are the results of my first dish from it!

Because it was 4pm when I got home from the shop the chicken was only cooked at 10.15 (6 hours cooking) last night.  So I had just a little taster before bed last night.  This chicken above is from 2 drumsticks, and it just fell off the bone.

I poured the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and reduced it for about a half hour.  The flavour was very intense, I have may have reduced it a little too much.

Plain chicken and rice waiting for the lovely sauce

Eh voila!

I think it looks very rustic.

In terms of flavour it is quite salty.  But nice!

I will list below the volumes I used below, but I think I will adjust next time.

Ingredients:

12 chicken drumsticks

1/2 cup of soy sauce - I am going to use 1/4 cup next time

1 cup of coca-cola - I am going to use 1 & 1/4 next time

Slow Cooking!

I've been hankering after some slow cooked meat for ages so today I went out and bought myself a slow cooker (or crock pot as I believe they are known state-side)

They really are not expensive.  This was €20 reduced from €26 in Argos. It has a 3.5l capacity.

What I particularly like about this one is the attractive bowl you cook in which can be brought straight to the table as a serving dish.

So! No time like the present! 

I got straight to cooking!

1/2 cup of soy sauce

1 cup or 8oz of coca-cola (next time I will just buy a can!!)

The soy sauce and coke goes in to the cooker with 12 chicken drumsticks.

Low setting for the next 6 hours.

Check back later (in 6 hours!!) for my next blog post showing how it turned out!!!

Edit.  Here is my my next post which shows you how it all turned out
