Best cut of chicken for slow cooking
Any piece on the bone, such as drumsticks, thighs or marylands.
Tips for freezing
Many slow cooked meals can be frozen for up to three months. There is usually a large quantity of liquid so transfer the meat and vegetables to appropriate-sized freezer-friendly containers, then pour in enough of the liquid to cover the meat and/or vegetables. Leave a 2.5cm space between the food and the lid to allow for expansion, then seal the container. Label and date the container before placing in the freezer.
If the recipe has a large quantity of mushrooms or potatoes, or a large piece of meat as an ingredient, we usually advise against freezing. However, if you don’t mind the food looking a bit sad after it’s thawed, almost anything will tolerate being frozen.
