Crockpot Indonesian Chicken

Ingredients:

- Enough chicken parts to feed a family of 4.
- 3 Tbs soy sauce
- 2 chopped cloves of garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- You can garnish it with sesame seeds and lime wedges
Directions:
  • put the peanut butter into your crockpot and turn it to high so it can begin to melt
  • add the other sauce ingredients
  • stir to mix
  • add your chicken; stir to coat.
  • cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. This is done when the chicken is cooked through and has reached desired tenderness. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will become, but it may fall off the bone if you cook too long.
  • If your crockpot isn't at least 2/3 full, keep an eye on it so the peanut butter doesn't burn. You may need to stir a few times.
***Review:
We really liked this dish.  This is the first time I've made it.  The kids loved that it had peanut butter in it.

**Tips:
I served in with rice I made on the stove and green beans. We had to add a little soy sauce to taste after it was on our plate. Also, we didn't add the cayenne pepper because the kids don't like spicy... neither do I.
