Honey Chicken Y'all

This morning in the crockpot.

Day 2 of this slow cooking lifestyle. I pulled the Honey Chicken out of the freezer last night and placed it in the fridge last night. I was surprised to see it wasn't fully frozen. Thank goodness for Google! I learned honey doesn't freeze. How Bizarre.

I plopped the contents of the bag in the crockpot, added a half cup of water (remember Aslyne and I split this recipe), set the timer and heat to low.

Wouldn't this have been a nice lunch?

Rookie move of the morning? Leaving my lunch by the front door before heading to work! So much for the Rosemary Chicken leftovers!

Tonight, the house smelled especially good when I came home! I took a peek and the chicken looked caramelized; it was very dark on the outside. Once again, the appearance of the meal was not optimal. (Please tell me someone got that topical joke. Anyone watch the debates? No? Just me? Alright then...)

After cooking all day!

I rinsed some asparagus, threw it on some foil on the cookie sheet, seasoned with True Lemon, savory and Kosher salt - and placed it in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees While the asparagus was cooking, I packed leftovers for tomorrow's lunch (cross your fingers that I remember it) and cleaned the slow cooker pot. By the time that was done, so was dinner! I have to say, I am loving this quick cleanup and ready-to-go meal...

Asparagus is my favie.

Warning: I'm about to use the word moist. Why do so many people hate that word?

The chicken was (wait for it) MOIST! So far, I'm liking this recipe better than yesterday's. It easily fell apart with the fork (no knife required).

Where's Aslyne in all of this? She's shopping for a slow cooker. I'm not being facetious. I'm sure we'll hear from her soon.
