Helpful tips to make Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken
- Save the knobby pieces of fresh ginger peel and plant in a pot of potting soil along with any leftover store-bought pieces of ginger root you may have. Ginger will grow in a warm climate as long as you keep it damp and protected from the cold.
- See my step by step instructions on how to cook perfect white rice in this post.
- Cook the rice during the last half hour of cooking time.
- Can serve a full half breast or shred the cooked chicken pieces before serving.
