Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[ChickenAlgebra]

Food day at work, so I just brought ultra lazy food - chicken and noodles. Nothing fancy, special, nothing. However, for all these grocery store chicken eaters, it's like manna from heaven. I may have converted a few yet again.

Dinner tonight is erm I'm not sure as DH is going grocery shopping today, so he chooses.

One day for "food day" at work, I made squirrel sauerbraten and noodles. Everyone loved it until I told them what they had eaten.

I always double the sauce with this recipe because my family likes to eat it as gravy over steamed rice and stir fried veggies.

Chinese Chicken Spareribs
(When you cook this in the Crockpot, leave out the ½ cup of water.)

3 LBS chicken thighs
1-2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup firm packed brown sugar
1/4 cup apple juice
2 Tbs. Ketchup
1 Tbs. Cider Vinegar
1 clove Garlic finely chopped
1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 Tsp. Ground Ginger
1 Tbs. Cornstarch
1 Tbs. Water

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat and add chicken a few pieces at a time, searing until lightly browned. Remove chicken from the pan to a plate until all pieces have been browned then return them all to the pan.

Combine remaining ingredients except cornstarch and water in a bowl and mix well, pour over the chicken. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and cover, simmer for 20 minutes. In a small dish combine cornstarch and water, blend well and then

add to chicken mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened and it glazes over chicken.

Thank you so much I will try it, I bought some rubarb and strawberries the other day.

Quote:

My Mother used to make it, too, she grew her own rhubarb and I loved it. Here's the recipe, I used; I improvised a bit from the original:

1 C light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 C all purpose flour
3/4 C quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 C melted butter
1 tsp cinnamon
4 C sliced rhubarb
1 C granulated sugar
2 TBSP cornstarch
1 C water
1 tsp vanilla

( I used dark brown sugar instead of light brown, and 2 C each of sliced rhubarb and strawberries)

In mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, butter and cinnamon. Mix together until crumbly. Press half the brown sugar and oats mixture into a buttered 8 inch square baking dish. Top with the sliced strawberries/ rhubarb.

In a saucepan combine 1 C granulated sugar, cornstarch, and the 1 C water and vanilla. Cook together until clear (it turns syrup-y) then pour over rhubarb/ strawberries. Top rhubarb with remaining crumb mixture and bake at 350 for 45 to 55 minutes.

My family really liked this, the first thing my daughter said was "grandma used to make this, didn't she?". Nice memories.

Needed to clear out some space in the freezer for the half-hog I'm picking up, so I thawed a couple chickens, turned em into stock to pressure can (5 quarts) plus almost a gallon of broth, and tonight, we're having chicken soup with the broth. (Any leftover soup will get canned tomorrow with the broth.)
