Chicken in Tea Marinade, Cooked in a Slow Cooker Instructions

  1. Brew the tea: Pour hot water over tea leaves, let steep for 10 minutes, then drain the liquid into a separate container.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and slice a few onions into half-rings, peel and cube a few carrots, and mince a few cloves of garlic. Combine in a bowl.
  3. Make the marinade: Roll a lemon on the counter to soften it, then juice it into the bowl with vegetables. Add roughly 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce, roughly 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil, about 1 tablespoon honey, salt to taste, and spices of your choice (such as ginger, star anise, or black pepper). Stir well until combined.
  4. Marinate the chicken: Place the 2 chicken drumsticks into the vegetable-marinade mixture, coating them well. Pour the brewed tea over the chicken and vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Transfer to the slow cooker: Pour the marinated chicken, vegetables, and all liquid into the slow cooker bowl.
  6. First cooking phase: Cook on medium-high heat for 30 minutes.
  7. Prepare the potatoes: While the chicken is cooking, peel 10 medium potatoes and cut them into eighths.
  8. Add potatoes and second cooking phase: After 30 minutes, add the prepared potatoes to the slow cooker. Continue cooking on medium heat for 30 more minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
  9. Serve: Remove from the slow cooker and serve hot.

Bon Appetit!
