The recipe for the chow mein came from the website "The Hostess with the Mostess":http://www.hwtm.com/recipe_box/vegetablechowmein

3 lbs chicken, breast, thighs, legs, etc.
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup tomato paste

Combine 1/4 cup sugar,  2 tablespoon soy sauce , ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat.  Place in a slow cooker and cook on low for about 4 hours or until done.  When done place chicken in a broiler proof dish.  Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, water, and tomato paste, and remaining soy sauce. Brush on chicken and cook under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until chicken is slightly crisp.  Keep a close watch on the chicken under the broiler.
