Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken

10 - 12 boneless skinless chicken tenders or 6 breasts
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 1/2 teaspoons cold water
Hot cooked long grain rice
hot chili sauce

Place chicken in crockpot. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, ginger, garlic and pepper. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or until chicken is tender. Combine cornstarch and cold water, stirring until smooth.  Add cornstarch mix to crockpot and gently stir into sauce. Cook for an additional 5 - 10 min. (Can add a tablespoon or two of hot chili sauce at this point, if you want it spicy.)  Serve over rice.  Tricia
