Southern Lemonade Chicken
- 4 -6 pieces chicken (I just cut up a whole chicken)
- 14 cup flour, seasoned with garlic salt, black pepper
- 1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade, thawed
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or splenda)
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 14 cup carrot, slices diagonal cut or ruffle cut
- 14 cup scallions or 14 cup green spring onion, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 14 cup Chinese pea pods or 14 cup snow pea pods
- 18 cup rings red bell pepper
- 18 cup rings green bell pepper
- Rinse pieces of chicken in water, then roll damp chicken into seasoned flour.
- Brown in fat in a heavy skillet.
- Remove chicken and place in crockpot.
- Combine lemonade concentrate, brown sugar, ketchup and vinegar; mix well.
- Pour lemonade mixture over chicken.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
- Remove chicken from crockpot and cover to keep hot.
- Transfer liquid to saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Skim fat; add optional vegetables, combine cornstarch and cold water and add slowly to liquid, while stirring.
- The sauce will be thickened after it reaches a full rolling boil, when thickened, serve the chicken along with hot cooked rice.
- The vegetables will still be crisp-tender.
- It tastes a bit like sweet and sour chicken - always a hit with my 5 children - we double the recipe since we're a two chicken family now.
