Cooking with Blobby

You know, sometimes I can be lazy making dinner. I like being creative and I don't mind cooking, but sometimes I'm just tired and don't want to think - which is kind of what the grill is for. 

It was a wet night and I just decided, hell, I never (well almost never) use the slow cooker. 710 has no idea where I even found it - though it's been in plain site since we moved. I just cook more than he. 

I decided to wing together - or so I thought - Honey Garlic Chicken. 

.....except we had no honey. Improvise. 

I Goooooogled substitutes and came up with maple syrup or brown sugar. I went with the former. It just seemed easier. 

Actually, the entire thing is easy. About 5-7 minutes of prep. And that's basically it. 

Ingredients 

4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs 

½ cup soy sauce 

½ cup ketchup 

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

3 cloves garlic, minced 

1 teaspoon dried basil or dried oregano

Directions

Place chicken thighs at bottom of slow cooker. I seasoned with salt and pepper, as one does. 

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, ketchup, maple syrup, garlic and oregano. 

Pour sauce over the chicken. 

Place lid on. Put slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours. 

DONE!

Well, I did make white rice and diced up a scallion for garnish. 

It's good. Tasted just fine. 710 liked it. Next time I might dish up two thighs per serving. They're not huge, but my appetite usually is. 

If you can wait the time for it to cook, it's pretty much set and forget. Letting you go about your business until it's time to eat.
