  Every time I make chicken thighs I think to myself, “I should buy these more often.” They’re a great cut of meat because they’re inexpensive (I got mine on sale for .89 per pound), they have a ton of meat on them and they’re tender and full of flavor. Chicken thighs really are a frugal girl’s best friend.

 

  Also, I love using my slow cooker in the summertime because it lets me get dinner on the table without heating the house up. This recipe is great because it’s easy and will make your house smell awesome. You could even make up a few extra batches and put them in the freezer for busy nights.

      If you do as Missy Says about shredding the chicken before freezing, I would add the sauce in package. I do this to be sure the chicken doesn’t dry out. It will also infuse the flavors more intensely

    Hi, do you think i could easily do this on the stove too? Maybe browning the chicken a little before adding the rest of the ingredients? We live in Italy and we don't have a slowcooker, but I'm looking for way of widening the range of recipes I'm comfortable with and this looks delicious (and quite inexpensive which is def. a bonus). Working outside the house definitely makes cooking delicious and complete meals every night a challenge...I love cooking from scratch, it's fun and and I think that creating a meal with your hands is so satisfying, so I think I'll finitely keep expolring this blog of yours..I've just found out about it but I've been loving it. :)

    Save even more money and avoid the preservatives in bottled teriyaki sauce by making your own: 2 cloves minced garlic 1 Tablespoon minced FRESH ginger <---key ingredient unless you hate it) 2 Tablespoons olive oil Saute in saucepan for a couple minutes, then add: 1/2 C soy sauce (low sodium) 1/2 C water 2/3 C brown sugar bring to a low boil and then simmer for a few minutes. You can thicken it with cornstarch (2Tbs cornstarch and 2 Tbs water mix and pour in sauce). That's all there is to it.
