    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.

    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 🙂

    I know this is an old post, but I found this recipe about a year ago. Since then it is in my regular recipe rotation! A great way to use leftover meat in the freezer.
