Ingredients
- 8 bacon strips, chopped
- 3lb (48oz) boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium limes
- ¼ cup dry sherry
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 2 tbsp minced fresh gingerroot
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp pepper
- ½ tsp chili garlic sauce
- Minced fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds
- Hot cooked rice
- Lime wedges (optional)
Method
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tbsp in pan. Brown chicken in bacon drippings in batches. Transfer chicken to a 4 or 5 quart slow cooker.
2. Add onion to the same pan; cook and stir until tender, 3 - 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Finely grate enough zest from limes to measure 2 tsp. Cut limes crosswise in half; squeeze juice from limes.
3. Add the lime juice and zest, sherry, soy sauce, molasses, ginger, bay leaves, pepper and chili sauce to pan; cook and stir to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken. Cook, covered, on high until a thermometer reads 165°C, 3 - 4 hours.
4. Remove chicken; shred meat with 2 forks, keep warm. If desired, slightly thicken juices by cooking in a saucepan over medium - high heat about 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Stir in bacon. Pour over chicken; sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve with rice and, if desired, lime wedges.
