      If reducing to low I’d say 4hrs approximately or until well cooked 🙂

  1. This recipe was a bit hit in my household and will be a regular recipe for the week

    Made this today, delicious, didn’t have hoisin sauce so use ketchup manus instead. Will make this again for sure.

    This recipe is a Winner…. Easy prep, lovely tasty outcome and I found I didn’t need cornflour paste at end. Had a nice thick sauce to soak into the steamed rice. Definitely looking forward to playing with this recipe taking it sweeter or more savoury. Thanks for a great recipe paulene

    I’m wanting to make this for freezer meals.
    Could I use white wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar for this recipe?
    Also do you need to coat them in flour and brown first or could I just chuck it all in raw without the flour?

      You could swap the vinegar
      Don’t do any browning for freezer bags 🙂

    Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Definitely better than take out. Partner said 10/10 Chinese.
    WILL be making again. Only difference was adding sesame seeds upon serving. No left overs tonight!

      That’s amazing feedback!
      Thanks Kristi and partner too 🙂

  7. Im not a fan of chicken breast. How long while I do chicken thighs for?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central July 23, 2023

      I’d give thigh fillets same time if doing high and sealed Lindsay

    Yum! I halved the chicken and cooked on low for 3 hours. I also added half a sliced onion, Asian greens, capsicum and broccoli for the last hour. It was really flavoursome, can’t wait to make it again. Thanks for the recipe.
