What’s in Your Crock-Pot??? The 2014 Thread
I LOVE cooking in my Crock-Pot!!! I love creative recipes that think out of the box and I’m totally open to hearing it all!!! This past weekend I experimented with a new recipe I found online. I have to say it was truly outstanding and one of the best meals I ever made to date!!! It fell off the bone, browned (without putting it in the stove) and the taste was beyond comprehension not to mention the house smelted great for 2 days straight. lol It has since become a permanent sleeve in my cookbook. So my question to all of you is this … what is your Best Crock-Pot recipe that you would like to share with us all this New Year?
This is where I found the original recipe from but I altered it a lot!!!

My Alterations:
I changes drumsticks to chicken thighs as they were on sale that week at Wally World, next time 2 chicken breast
I took the skin off all of chicken thighs (I avoid unnecessary fat whenever I can)
I de-skinned the garlic cloves, so I could puree them into a gravy sauce. I added flour & chicken stock it was delicious!!!
I coated the pieces with extra virgin oil and then hand sprinkled the spices on top (they do separate especially the salt)
I reduced the time from 8 hours on low to 5 hours on high. (I slept in!) Cooking this for 4 ½ on high I think would be fine also
I added a two to three splashes of basil on top too
I used Campbell’s Stock First (excellent)
What I Would Change:
The amount of garlic cloves and this all depends on what type of garlic you are using. If your using the 4 pack white netted garlic cloves from China using 20 cloves is perfectly fine. But I used the big honking local based garlic cloves that were twice the size (but I like them as they are fresher and taste better) but l was burping garlic for two days straight afterwards lol … so if you are using large locally fresh grown garlic reduce it to maybe 10-15 cloves and enjoy!!! :)
