Instructions

  • Choose one of the 5 chicken types above. Add all the ingredients into a large bowl/dish.
  • Mix with your hands until the chicken is well coated.
  • Then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • Rinse and repeat doing as many different types of chicken as you like and then add to freezer bags and label for the freezer. Freeze for another day and then thaw before using in the slow cooker.
  • On that other day get out your slow cooker and your defrosted bag and its ready to go on.
  • Load the chicken into the slow cooker and slow cook for 3 hours on high.
  • After slow cooking, if you have an air fryer you can put it on air fry for an extra crisp. I recommend 12 minutes at 180c/360f.
  • Then serve your chicken for dinner.

Notes

Mix and Match. You can use any of the ingredients lists above and mix and match with your favourite flavours. Prefer red thai then why not do a double batch.
Chopped Chicken. The recipes above feature a mix of whole chicken legs and chicken legs chopped into drumsticks and thighs. If you prefer you can buy already chopped packs.
