Instructions
1. To Cook Rice: In a small pot, add rice and 1⅓ cups water. Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer, cover and cook about 30 minutes until all water is absorbed. Remove from pot and set aside.
2. To Cook Chicken in Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in a 9†baking pan. Place onions on top. In a small bowl add frozen orange juice concentrate. Heat in microwave for about 20 seconds until mostly thawed. Stir in barbecue sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Mix well. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. When done cooking, remove chicken from pan to a plate. Shred chicken.
3. To Cook in Crock-Pot: Add chicken to crock-pot. Place onions on top. In a small bowl add frozen orange juice concentrate. Heat in microwave for about 20 seconds until mostly thawed. Stir in barbecue sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Mix well. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and cook on high heat for about 2-2½ hours. *Note: Cook times vary depending on your crock-pot. This recipe only took 2-2½ hours on high heat, in my crock pot to be fully cook. Make sure to check for doneness and be prepared to cook longer, if necessary! When fully cooked, remove chicken from crock pot to a plate. Shred chicken.
