"A nice easy dish for those busy days around the holidays. Put this on before going shopping and dinner is waiting when you get home! Serve with rice or couscous and a veggie. Boneless chicken thighs could be used also. NOTE: The 6 hour cooking time is based on my very old slow cooker, but I have noticed my newer slow cooker cooks hotter, so 4 hours on low may be plenty."

I used chicken legs and halved the recipe. I had everything except orange juice, so I had to use apple juice. It worked out well. However I'm sure my husband and I both would have liked the orange better. I also had to use dark brown sugar which probably made it a little more sweet. We personally like the bite of the cranberry and also as far as the flour- I did have to add a little more water upon mixing it up but I don't know how much. It was no big deal to me- that stuff is meant to be an estimate. This is great for us up here where we can't get to the store easily. I believe we'll use this again lots. Thanks Mike.

I was really excited about this recipe, and I think it can be great with a couple of tweaks. I must have done something wrong with the flour and water because the current ratio made the flour globby, so I added a little more water. But that didn't thicken the liquid with the chicken at all...instead gave me a few 'dumplings' at the bottom. So maybe I just need to mix in cornstarch or plain flour...not sure. I also found the cranberries too tart. Maybe extra brown sugar would help with that. But I did love the spice flavor on the chicken so open to suggestions to make it just perfect.
