I've been a notorious fan of the common chicken leg bag ever since being on a extreme budget to feed the clan here. Furthermore, as the years compound I find an innate desire to look for dinners that can cook themselves. Hence, I have supreme appreciation for the humble crock pot. There are just some kitchen necessities the common cook should not have to do without. Crock pots are reasonably priced as per the link above, or can be purchased at your local thrift shop for under $8. There is no better feeling than dropping your dinner in the ceramic base, plugging it in, and coming home to instant serving!
Because we utilize chicken legs weekly, I am always on the lookout for a delicious, thrifty recipe. I came across this one and put it on hold due to the listed coconut milk ingredient. But, on a recent trip to Walmart I found a can of coconut for $1.28. I immediately swiped that beauty up and rushed home to produce this masterpiece. Served over rice, this makes a wholesome treat. The sweet smell will waft your senses when you return home.
4 chicken legs (left whole)
1 cup coconut milk
2 tbs. soy a sauce
2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 tsp. allspice
flaked coconut - cilantro (optional)
Place first 5 ingredients in crock pot. Set on low and cook 5-6 hours. Place chicken on serving tray, cut into individual pieces and top with coconut and cilantro. Personally I tried this topping and my family did not enjoy the cilantro. So we dished it up over rice naked. YUM!
