Ingredients

    2.5kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 24)
    3 large onions, finely chopped
    400g carrots, chopped
    400ml fresh lemon juice
    225ml ketchup (1 cup)
    225ml water
    150g soft brown sugar, packed (3/4 cup)
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp pepper
    about 12 mushrooms,chopped
    2 orange or yellow bell peppers, seeded and chopped

Directions

Peel and chop the onions, and place them in a layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Peel and chop the carrots, and place them above. Put the chicken thighs (which must be thawed, if they were frozen) on top.

In a biggish bowl, mix together the lemon juice, ketchup, brown sugar, water, salt and pepper, and pour over the chicken mixture.

Switch on to HIGH and cook for about two hours, until bubbling and the chicken is starting to look cooked. Remove the lid, stir to coat the chicken with the sauce, and add the chopped peppers and mushrooms. Replace the lid, and turn heat to MEDIUM or LOW. Cook for around seven hours more.

Can also leave on HIGH the whole time, and cook for about five hours in total. But crockpots vary. The chicken should fall to pieces when done.

Serve with salad or some green veg such as broccoli, and potatoes.
