Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken

I think this is one of my favourite slow cooker recipes why?? because it has very few ingredients, its so easy to make but it tastes amazing.

There is nothing over complicated about this recipe the only thing you will need to do is reduce the sauce especially if you are using chicken thighs. Chicken thighs allow more fat to be added to the sauce which can make it difficult to reduce it to a thick sticky consistency.

So how are you going to create a sticky sauce?? first method is have patience place the sauce in a large frying pan on a high heat and keep removing the pan from the heat this will allow the honey to solidify so you can judge how much the sauce has reduced.

Or you can reduce the sauce and add a corn flour slurry this is usually 1 teaspoon of corn flour mixed with cold water – if you decide to use this method do not take your eyes off the pan the corn flour will thicken really quickly. Do not reduce the sauce too far as you want it to coat all the chicken.

If you like these types of easy no faff recipes you can find this recipe and more in my new cookbook MY SLOW COOKER MEALS which is available on Amazon in paperback and kindle format press here for my Amazon Shop the look under cookbooks https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/julesthelazycook

Lemon Curd & Blueberry Baked Oats

This recipe is from my cookbook Lighter Bites but i have amended it slightly the book is available on Amazon in Paperback and Kindle format press here for my Amazon Shop then look under COOKBOOKS https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/julesthelazycook

I have made this recipe many times and it works so well it can either be used as a pudding or a breakfast – however did you know you can prep these ahead of time and keep them in the fridge or freeze them. All you need to do is reheat them in the microwave.

Lately i have been using my air fryer to cook these as its so much easier than an oven with my air fryer i start off at 180 for approx 10 minutes then turn it up to 190 an cook for a further 5 minutes. I like the texture firm on my baked oats if you like a softer texture then cook them for less time.
