Orange Sauce:

  • ½ cup orange marmalade
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon dried ginger
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Garnish:

  • White sesame seeds (optional)
  • Chopped green onion (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add chicken to crockpot: Place chicken pieces in the crockpot.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix together orange marmalade, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  3. Cook: Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
