Something's fishy.

The gluten-free crocking website I've been using has 70 chicken recipes listed. I asked my other half to pick a number. He picked 69. (Of course.)

This recipe made me nervous. If you've been following along from the beginning (or have spent 30 seconds with me in a seafood restaurant), you know I'm not a seafood person. I HATE the smell of fish. I somehow convinced myself that I was completely okay with going to the store and buying fish sauce. I even shoved it in my cart after reading the ingredient list and reading the first ingredient: anchovies. As I was opening the bottle, I got some fish sauce on my hand. I thought I was going to gag. It smells SO BAD.

"Vietnamese Roasted Chicken" (6 quart pot)

~4 chicken thighs (Mine had skin and bones, but I deskinned them)

~1 1/2 T gluten-free soy sauce

~1 1/2 T fish sauce

~1 T olive oil

~ 1 1/2 t sugar

~1/2 t pepper

~4 garlic cloves, chopped

~rice, cooked (I used a mixture of white and brown because we had a smidge of white left.)

Add chicken to crock pot.

Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl.

Pour mixture over chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Serve over rice.

4 servings.

This was really good. I think the yummy garlic in it made me forget about the fishiness. That's what I keep telling myself, at least. There's no possible way I like anchovies.
