The flavor of this chicken was pretty good but the timing was off. We had a 4lb chicen and at 8 hours our chicken was way overdone. The breast meat was very dry and the chicken completely fell apart when we went to take it out leaving us to wade through bone, juice and oranges to find all the meat. It was probably done at about 7 hours.

Your recipes for the winter soups look very good:) I could live on soup! I've loved it from the time I was little. My mom always made veg.soup and chicken corn soup and homemade pot pie (a Pa. dutch thing!) She doesn't too much any more, but I do once in a while.

Sounds really good. I didn't have the recipe with me when I went to the store so the only thing I didn't have was the orange marmalade. I did have some orange blossom honey so I used a lil less than the 1/4 cup of marmalade. Will let u know how it turns out 8-10hrs from now. :D

Love the Orange Chicken slow cooker recipie! A great vegie side to go with it is my orange brocoli. Steam however many bunches of brocoli you need to have a small bunch for each person till bright vibrant green. In a saucpan mix one 12 oz can of mandarin oranges with juice, and one 12 oz can of jellied cranberry sauce heat till syrupy thick. Place brocoli bunches on serving platter and pour mixtur over them. Garnish with a Rosemary sprig, or a mint sprig, or both. You may also llike the crunch of topping with slivered almonds.

If you want to "roast" a chicken in the crockpot try putting balled up aluminum foil on the bottom with the orange and onions! It gives it that "roasted" texture because the bottom doesn't get soggy!

Your recipes are always great. This one I really didn't like the texture of the chicken. That's not the fault of the recipe but just cooking it in the crockpot. The flavors were ok. I would try using those ingredient and cook it in the oven next time.
