Tee he he, I forgot that part! I was so in love with my dcb...lol
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce (garlic ones are yummy in this)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup orange marmalade
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. grated gingerroot
8 bone-in chicken thighs (3-1/2 lb.), skin removed ( I use boneless chicken breasts)
STIR barbecue sauce and flour in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add all remaining ingredients except chicken; mix well.
POUR sauce mixture evenly over chicken in slow cooker. (Do not stir.) Cover with lid.
COOK on LOW for 3 to 5 hours. Serve chicken topped with the sauce. ( or I learned that 45 min -1 hour in the DCB @ 450 degrees, has the same results)

Ususally I do. There are times my grocery store has really good chinese noodle stuff...can't think of name...chow mein! And I would make that with bunches of stir fry vegies.
Yes I used a lil' more then a pound of chicken. Sometimes I use the bone in like in the recipe but generally I like to cut the chicken breast up into smaller pieces. That's why Im a fan of this recipe...you just use whatcha got!
