I wanted to find a creative way to use my leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving dinner. This sounds like an unlikely combination, but the results are incredible! &mdash;Lisa Workman, Boones Mill, Virginia

Slow-Cooked Cranberry Chicken

It’s too bad the others reviewing did not use the actual recipe. It was excellent exactly as it was published. The sauce with molasses brown sugar and OJ was a very nice blend of savory and sweet. I know people mean well but reviewing a recipe with their own suggestions before making the dish as printed is not helpful. Those type of suggestions mean more after at least one original try.

This was easy to make, but had a strange flavor.

This was excellent.  I served it with steamed broccoli and Lipton Onion soup roasted potatoes.  For the chicken I used maple syrup instead of molasses, half a bag of cranberries, and only one third as much brown sugar as was directed.  I thought the cranberries would pop the way they do when I make cranberry sauce, so I didn’t halve them, but they didn’t pop.  So, when the cooking was complete I removed the chicken and dumped the saucy cranberries into a blender and returned the sauce to the chicken to serve.

I had fresh cranberries I needed to use up. I don’t like to review recipes if I didn’t initially ollow them exactly, but I did since this one only had one review. I didn’t have orange juice, so I substituted orange marmalade. I also used Lana’s advice and halved the brown sugar and used. a mixture of molasses and maple syrup. Late in the process i realized someone had unplugged the crockpot, so after an hour, I had to transfer it to the oven so dinner would be on time. Flavor was good, but I thought the sauce would be thicker, and it might have been if it had fully cooked in the crockpot. Anyway, it was flavorful, easy, and a great way to use up cranberries. I will make it again in the crockpot.
