Crockpot Five Spice Chicken Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken pieces 
  • ⅔ cup chicken stock
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Crockpot Five Spice Chicken Instructions

Pour some oil into a pan and turn to medium high. You can use bone in thighs, drumsticks, breasts, or a combination of chicken pieces for this recipe. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of 5 spice powder on both sides. Brown chicken on both sides and remove to the crockpot.

Toss chopped celery and green onion into the crockpot on top of the chicken.

In a bowl whisk together chicken stock, sesame oil, soy sauce, 1 tsp 5 spice powder and oyster sauce. You can use store bought 5 spice or homemade.

Pour over other crockpot ingredients.

Turn on low and let cook 6-8 hours, or high for 3-5 hours.

The last hour of cooking add your whole young corn (also known as baby corn) and nestle it in around the chicken pieces.

Remove chicken pieces from broth and serve with rice, egg noodles or cheesy mashed potatoes. Ladle on some of your delicious broth and add a little sliced bok choy on the top for garnish before serving.

If there are leftovers, you can remove the chicken meat from the bones and use the next day to make soup, quesadillas, chicken salad or a sandwich.

    For this dish, I usually put the chicken in the oven and make it grilled five spice chicken since I like the skin crispy. Your way is more like chicken stewed in the clay pot. The chicken looks yummy and I like how you add young corn in the dish. I’ll try out this new recipe. Thanks for sharing, Scarlet!
