Terrible is all I can say about this dish. The chicken was dry, which is hard to do to thighs, the flavor was really bland too. I made it exactly like the recipe said. I'm thinking 8 hours in the crockpot is way too long, but even with less cooking time, there would still be the issue of no taste. My family is not picky but we all hated it.08/01/10

I made this today for dinner and I liked it very much. It reminds me of a stew-like meal. I am a big fan of thigh meat chicken so this really was my type of comfort food. If you like stews and dark meat chicken, then you will love this. I will make this again.04/28/10
