Crock Pot Caribbean Chicken In Rum

Delicious recipe originally from the sunset crockery cookbook. I made a few changes when i tried the dish. I used about 3 pounds of skinless chicken thighs instead of an entire chicken. Not having nutmeg, and liking extra heat, i sprinkled the chicken with ground red pepper instead. Also i didn't have pimentos or almonds.

Steps

Put onions , garlic , ginger and pimentos in crock pot.
Arrange chicken pieces on top.
Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Mix lime juice , rum and red pepper flakes.
Pour mixture over chicken.
Cook on low for 6 1 / 2 to 7 hours.
If a thick sauce is desired: remove chicken and keep warm.
Mix cornstarch with 2 t water and blend into a liquid.
Add cornstarch mixture to crock pot.
Cover and cook on high for about 10 minutes , stirring 2 or 3 times.
Season with salt to taste.
If desired , toast almonds in frying pan under medium heat.
Pour sauce over chicken.
Sprinkle with almonds.
Serve over rice.
