How to Make Asian Chicken Legs

  1. In a 3-quart or larger slow cooker, combine the chicken legs, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar.
  2. Add the carrots and bell peppers to the slow cooker.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-9 hours, or until the chicken is easily pierced with a fork and the juices run clear.
  4. Remove the chicken legs from the slow cooker and set aside on a serving platter.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
  6. Cook on high for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  7. Return the chicken legs to the slow cooker and coat with the thickened sauce.
  8. Garnish with chopped scallions and cashews before serving.
