My wife and I are always looking for quick and simple meals. This looks like something we will try.

Yummy! Thank you! Would you mind sharing where you bought those cute little colorful cups with ingredients in them? Nice size! Thanks!

They are part of a children's play tea set. Walmart has them.

[@norme2681]

Another good recipe Ken. This also works with 3pd of pork shoulder or boston butt. It's a big game day request at my house. Try some smoked melting cheese as a topping

[@KenClick]

Thanks for watching! I have a "classic carnitas" video coming soon! 🙂

[@norme2681]

Ken, you can take them chicken thigh skins, a dash of salt and any other spice you like and put them in the air fryer at 400F for 12 min flipping halfway until crisp. Use them as a topping or quick snack (chicken cracklings)

[@marthab255]

Is it too salty with soy sauce and salt twice? Sounds good.

[@mpe777]

I use low sodium soy sauce.

[@KenClick]

If it was too salty, I would have said so in the video. It is just right to me.

[@williamscoggin1509]

Looks like a good recipe, but I don't know if I would run my crock pot for 3 and 1/2 hours just for three chicken thighs....
What about a pressure cooker instead for a lot less time?

[@KenClick]

Like I mention in the video, the amount of chicken may be doubled. Also, some flavors take time to develop, but feel free to pressure cook it if you like. 🙂

[@southerncooker6475]

Looks easy and delicious! Be well and stay safe! Blessings!

[@KenClick]

Thank you! You too!
