Finishing the slow cooker Surinamese chicken thighs - 4 hours
Rinse the tomato, remove the hard parts and chop into chunks. If you're using a dutch oven, you need cook the chicken first until they're beautiful golden brown on all sides.
Then add the tomato, bay leaf, broth cube, halved pepper and a dash of water. Simmer the chicken tot about 1,5 to 2 hours with a lid on.
For the slow cooker method you can add the marinated chicken, tomato, bay leaf, broth cube and a dash of water without cooking it first.
Set the slow cooker to the lowest setting for about 4 hours. Remove the bay leaf and madame jeanette pepper and season with salt and maybe a bit more sambal for a spicier version.
Garnish with celery and serve e. G. With surinamese bami. Enjoy!

Hi Bill, thank you for your comment! Yes laos is a spice, it's also called galangal. If you can't find any, google tells me you can also substitute with an equal amount of ground ginger with a pinch of cinnamon. Enjoy the chicken dish, have a great evening!
