Slow-Cooked Oriental Chicken

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in the oil in both sides. Transfer to the slow cooker.

Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, and ginger; pour over the chicken.

Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and cook 4 to 5 hours longer or until the meat juices are clear.

Remove chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle with almonds. Spoon the juices over the chicken or thicken the juices if desired.
