Tamarind Chicken similar to Coriander Chicken

There are recipes which I have bookmarked previously and which I have tried using again and again. This Tamarind Chicken from Delicious Asian Food is one recipe that I will turn to when my slow cooker calls me for a chicken dish.

The original recipe does not call for the slow cooker, and I hope I have not done the dish injustice by doing so. The Baba Coriander Chicken dish that I have cooked previously uses almost similar ingredients. As the dish speaks for itself, Ayam Sioh or Tamarind Chicken uses generous amount of tamarind while Baba Coriander Chicken uses coriander seeds, salted soy beans , (a.k.a tau cheo, in hokkien) and lemongrass. The flavor of these two chicken dishes are completely different but all good.

This bookmarked recipe will go to Family, Friends and Food who is the host for the week.

    Looks nice. But I realized that I had chicken almost everyday. No more chicken at the meantime. :)

    Your recipe reminds me of my under-utilised slow cooker. It has been sitting in one dark corner waiting patiently for my "opening ceremony". Hehehe!

    Sounds interesting. My chef usually only cook chicken with soy sauces and ginger.

    She use slow cooker mainly for cooking soups. ;)

    This dish makes my mouth water, the skin of the chicken is making me drool most!

    My dog's not a vegetarian, but he loves his share of fruits and vegetables occasionally :)

    You know, I don't think I can tell the difference between Tamarind and Coriander!

    I like food prepared by slow cooker by the way. Yummy!

    How about ducks? You think we can cook ducks the same way as you wrote?

    I really like the flavor of tamarind. One of my favorite appetizers is chicken satay that has been marinated in tamarind.

    The chicken must be very soft and tender after all the slow cooking =)
