This looks delicious! I love my slow cooker. Did you broil these when you took them out of the slow cooker? They look really browned for the crock pot.
Trying this tonight!
Katie – I am always looking for crock pot ideas too.
Kirstin – I hope you like it.
Julie – I did not broil them, but that would be a great idea. I think the ones that I have in the picture were at the top of the crock pot and maybe weren’t cooking in the liquid the whole time, so they browned.
Dana – Hope you like it.
Tried this and it was yummy 🙂 I used Chicken Breasts instead of Thighs & Drumsticks and sadly didn’t have any orange juice. However it was still Delicious 🙂
