Slow Cooker Chicken Legs with Chili, Ginger and Pineapple | Easy Chicken Crock Pot Recipe

Whole chicken legs are often on special at the supermarket, so next time you buy some, grab a can of pineapple too and make this tasty treat for the family.   If you have a meals worth of rice in the fridge that you have prepared earlier, and some Asian inspired stir fry vegetables in the freezer that you can quickly stir fry, you will be able to serve dinner in minutes with this dish.  Adjust the level of 'spice' to suit your family's taste and this crock pot chicken recipe is sure to become a family favorite!

Chicken legs are ideally cooked in one layer, so if you are cooking 6 chicken legs and in a 6 quart slow cooker, life gets easier. But what do you do if most of the time you only need a 4 quart slow cooker to feed the family?

Introducing the most versatile and practical solution to this dilemma - a multiple insert slow cooker!

This 3 in 1 slow cooker with multiple inserts is the perfect crock pot as you have a 2, 4 and 6 quart slow cooker that takes up no more space than the base, as the slow cooker inserts nest inside each other for storage.  You will find desserts, sauces and oatmeal work out great in the 2 quart, the mid size is great for stews and puddings and the large slow cooker insert is wonderful for slow cooker legs - like in this recipe!
