Stir Frys and other Asian dishes make for a perfect freezer meal for busy families- easy, quick cooking, and loaded with delicious flavors and texture so I was sure to add one to this Slow Cooker Freezer Series. But when you want something a little different in a freezer meal than the usual Asian dish then Sticky Chicken is a delicious and more unique alternative. It is wonderful over rice and noodles, it will please even your pickiest eater with it’s sweet and flavorful taste. Adjust the garlic and ginger amounts to suit your taste, I like mine with lots of garlic so I usually add a bit extra. The family enjoys this one so much I usually make a double batch for the freezer so we can have it at least twice within a month or so.
