Soy Ginger Chicken in the Crock Pot
I came across this Soy-Ginger Chicken recipe while on Martha Stewart’s web page. It looked interesting, and I love the blend of flavors. Based upon readers’ comments about lack of liquid, I added 1 cup of chicken stock and cooked it the full 6 hours. I think it 
would have been fine after five, however. I used drumsticks and thighs as suggested because I had those on hand. If using skinless, boneless breasts, I would probably decrease the cooking time. I think the dark meat definitely increases the flavor here. All that is to say, we really enjoyed the dish. If you try it, please let me know what you think. (Photo courtesy of marthastewart.com)
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
- 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
- 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches long), peeled and cut into thin strips
- 5 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal (1 cup packed)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 chicken drumsticks and 4 thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total), skin removed
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Cooked white rice
Directions
-
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together soy sauce, sugar, garlic, cilantro, ginger, 1/2 cup scallions, vinegar, coriander, and pepper. Add chicken and carrots; toss to coat. Cover, and cook on LOW until chicken is tender, about 6 hours. Using a large spoon, skim off and discard any fat from surface of cooking liquid.
-
In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, whisk cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Ladle 1 cup cooking liquid into measuring cup; whisk to combine. Pour into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. With slow cooker turned off, stir in cornstarch mixture. Serve chicken with white rice, and garnish with cilantro sprigs and remaining 1/2 cup scallions.

This chicken looks very good, I use my crockpot almost non-stop this time of year.
This looks wonderful. I hope you have a great day.
This looks FANTASTIC. I am going to add this to next weeks meal plan for sure. Thank you!
Congratulations to your winners! This chicken sounds amazing. Asian-style recipes do really well in the crock-pot. I’ll wager this was delicious.
That looks delicious! I haven’t been using my slow cooker very much lately, but I plan to start again soon.
That sounds really good! I am bookmarking this one:-)
This recipe looks delicious!! Definitely going on my list to try very soon.
Unfortunately my Crockpot is taking a break this week, but I will be back next week to participate!
I can’t believe I won a prize – wow!!!! Thank you so much to Debbie, the Crock Pot King and Tami! This made my day! 🙂
I think my crock pot is going into shock over actually getting used so much. I know my family is definitely shocked at how much time I spend in the kitchen now 🙂
An Asian recipe for the crockpot! COOL!! I will be trying this, this fall/winter!

I haven’t tried many Asian recipes in my crockpot, but this looks yummy!

Thanks for the invite, I’m glad to join in 🙂 I’m going to be bookmarking away, too…my husband makes a killer roast in the crockpot, but I’ve never used it a whole lot. I am excited about getting home from work and not having to fuss over a loooong dinner prep.
Mmmmmm, that sounds good. I’ve got to teach my husband to like chicken!

Thanks for the invite. I actually rarely use my crock pot but maybe I can get some ideas here and put it to use more often. 🙂
HI Debbie, I am new to blogging and this is my first time joining you. What fun! I am glad I found your site, and now I am following you. Thank you for hosting- I love to use my slow cooker!
The Soy Ginger Chicken recipe sounds delish. What a great mix of flavors. I will have to try this, I actually think I have all the ingredients.
Thanks again, I’ll continue to participate.

This sounds delicious! I love using my crock pot and will have to try this soon.
What a nice change of pace! Asian in the crockpot. I’ll be saving this recipe to try in the near future. Thanks for hosting this wonderful event each week. It’s really fun and gives me great inspiration in the kitchen!! Blessings!
That looks absolutely fabulous!
Thanks for the comment!
The only soup he’ll eat is homemade potatoe and that’s it!
Nope, no caseroles, no onions, peppers, tomato chunks, sour cream, no cream of anything…etc…I know I’m leaving out a lot of stuff.
I would love to participate in your crockpot meme, but really the only thing I put in mine is plain meats. Can you imagine why now? lol
Yeah, it’s frustrating, but at the same time it probably has kept me from gaining a ton of weight too since I can’t cook comfort foods I love!
Thanks for the invite. I’m more than happy to join in. I am always looking for new crockpot recipes and I can’t wait to try some of these. With my crazy work schedule of 13-16 hours some days, it’s great to be able to put a meal on the table for my family even though I’m not there to cook it. Thanks again for the invite!
thanks for commenting on my blog post and for inviting me to participate.
This looks good. I’ve been buying organic skinless chicken thighs when on sale which I really like. I’m gonna try to make this this week.
I am looking for a good vegetarian chili recipe. Any suggestions? Please send them my way at http://scraphappychelsey.blogspot.com/
