going to make your slow cooker garlic chicken recipe this week, it sounds delicious.

what does the chicken come out like, is it brown or do i have to brown off first?

TIA

thanks Bella! how are you?

Am good thanks. Hope you are well?

I have txted Norma to let her know about this thread.

Oooo fab, with the paprika being in it that gives it a nice colour without them needing browning but no harm in browning if you prefer :)

I'm seriously in love with my slow cooker, I'm currently walking to the butchers (I'm replying whilst walking & pushing the pushchair with my other hand, talk about multi tasking!) to get some sausages so I can bung a sausage casserole & dumplings in it for tea tonight

ooh dumplings.
i'm just getting the hang of the slow cooker, although mine seems quite a 'fast' one iykwim, but got round this by using a plug in timer doo dah.

Can't wait to try it, was attracted to it by the enormous amount of garlic.
Thanks Norma.

Thanks Bella, I'm fine although wish I was still on holiday.

Same here, I love nothing more then a whole heap of garlic in a dish, thankfully DH is the same else that could have been an issue I made some lovely garlic potatos yesterday - yum!

Good luck with the recipe, let me know how you get on

chicken bits bought and 6 bulbs of garlic (plus 2 i already have in fridge) should be enough. Just back from Spain and bought back loads of paprika.

Dh at work thurs night poor bloke. Might save him some though!

thanks again, enjoy your casserole and dumplings.

oh, I did rice pudding in it the other day and it was amazing. Almost caramelised (no not burnt!)by the end of cooking.

Oh I might have to try that joosey, it sounds lovely, did you use any recipe in particular?

flung in some sultanas too.

Fab thank you

one more question Norma! Do I skin the chicken? TIA

Nope, keep the skin on

great, ta. just realised though that my poxy 3.5 litre slow cooker is no where near big enough so am going to give a bash in a normal casserole dish in the oven.

It should be ok? Oh mind you I only put in about 8 drumsticks that might be why!
