Persian Slow-Cooked Chicken

I liked this rescipe a lot.. But DH didn't care for it at all (Grrrr) and therein lies the problem. For a throw-it-in-the crockpot meal this was a little more work than some recipes but I would have felt that it was worth it if DH had only liked it better. I loved the combination of flavours, the fresh ginger mellowed out and complimented the other flavours rather than out did them, the smell was wonderful and once this was in the crockpot it gently did it's stuff and was easy. I had home made chicken stock on hand so used that rather than the bullion cubes: that was the only change I made to the recipe. Please see my rating system: I have given it 3 stars and would definiately considered giving it 4 if DH had liked it.. he said that it simply wasn't to his taste, and that it wasn't one of my better chicken attempts to win him over... (he's not known for being a great fan of chicken, so I am on a quest to find a recipe for it that he would really like since the budget necessitates we eat it more often than he would prefer) If it was just me I would definiately be making this again.. sadly with others to cook for reality is that this is a favourite of mine but I'm in the minority. Thanks for posting it , it was an excellent recipe to try

My family loved this recipe! I didn't use the slow cooker, but made it on the stove top. After step 10, I just put the chicken back in the pot and cooked it on low for 2 hours. Also added a dash of Tabasco and some preserved lemon to brighten it up a bit, but that was just for my family's taste. We will definitely make this again!
