Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Place chicken (frozen, thawed or fresh) inside
slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar,
soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour
over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high
for 4 hours.
Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker (mine
basically fell apart) and pour remaining sauce
into saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. Mix
together corn starch and water, pour into
saucepan, and mix well. Let sauce come to a boil
and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to
thicken and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat
and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue
to thicken as it cools down).
Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired. This
can be served over rice or noodles, I also like it
with a baked potato on the side (It's good on top
of the potato too!)
