Lazy Day Asian Chicken Recipe

Brown chicken in oil, all sides. You can cook the chicken whole (as the Chinese do) or cut it up. Mix other ingredients together and pour over chicken. Cook in Dutch oven or electric skillet on medium-low heat, basting frequently. If cooking chicken whole cook for 1-1.5 hours. If cut up cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You may also cook in crock pot, but make sure you add water to cover most of the chicken. Cooking in crock pot will result in a very tender chicken that falls off the bone. Using Dutch oven or electric skillet will produce a more visually appealing dish. Serve with steamed white or brown rice and stir fried vegetables.
