Preparation steps
1.
Rub the chicken pieces with the olive oil and season generously.
2.
Heat a large casserole dish over a moderate heat until hot and seal the chicken, in batches, until golden brown in colour all over. Transfer the sealed chicken to a slow cooker.

4.
Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle over the sugar.

Spoon the contents of the dish into the slow cooker and cover with a lid. Cook on a medium setting for 5 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
