Not bad, not bad at all..., Member Dcmmark

I added a little variance to the original recipe. For instance, I used fresh ginger instead of ground and boneless chicken breasts instead of the legs and quarters. I also seasoned the potatoes and chicken with fresh red and black pepper just to kick it up a notch. I thought about adding cinnamon but figured I had deviated away from the original recipe enough already. The devil was in trying to figure out how to keep the chicken from losing the BBQ seasoning (and taste) so whenever it was time to stir the potatoes, I'd move the chicken to a plate, stir and then return to the crock pot. I also cooked it on High for four hours because I didn't get it on until 3:00 PM. The end result was a meal that was light, sweet, spicy and oh so good!
