I'll probably never be able to repeat this creation, but I'll do my best to retrace my steps. It would be worth the effort for an encore.
I started with this recipe, which tasted fine, but I probably won't make again until I figure out how to cook meat in a crockpot that isn't overcooked to the point of (1) being way too dry and/or (2) falling apart. So we ate it for one meal, but it was really dry and there were lots of leftovers. (To throw away, or not - that was the question.) It was haunting me in the fridge a week later when the idea of shredded chicken sandwiches occurred to me, so I found a sauce.
That was this. I didn't follow it carefully, but did use the ingredient list as guidelines.
Soy Sauce
Honey
Sesame oil
Lime juice (didn't have orange)
and definitely that teaspoon of fresh grated ginger :)
I also added the end of some barbecue sauce from Don Bickford and added a little more of Wee Willy's BBQ Sauce, (Steve Swanson's favorite and the secret to his delicious ribs).
Anyway, this sauce, whole wheat buns (onion buns would have been good too), and grilled pineapple slices. Highly recommended and it saved my dry chicken from the trash.

Huh. My impossible-to-recreate dinners usually involve barbecue sauce, too. And yeah, I don't think it's possible to do good chicken pieces in the crock pot unless you're home to start it in the afternoon. You might be able to do a whole one, though.
