Orange Hoisin Sauce Chicken Whites
From: Marielle, Quebec, Quebec, Canada
Comments: Chinese food fans are familiar with hoisin sauce, even those who do not know what it is called.
Sweet, savory and thick like molasses, hoisin sauce is often used in marinades and barbecue sauces as well as on its own.
These chicken whites are excellent served along with boiled potatoes and string beans.
As chicken whites are added frozen, it slows down the cooking somewhat but this is still a quick dish.
Keep leftover ginger frozen.
Slow cooker size : medium or large oval slow cooker.
Servings: 4 to 6
