8 bacon strips, chopped
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium limes
1/4 cup dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Minced fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds
Hot cooked rice
Lime wedges, optional

1
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pan. Brown chicken in bacon drippings in batches. Transfer chicken to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker.
2
Add onion to the same pan; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Finely grate enough zest from limes to measure 2 teaspoons. Cut limes crosswise in half; squeeze juice from limes.
3
Add the lime juice and zest, sherry, soy sauce, molasses, ginger, bay leaves, pepper and chili sauce to pan; cook and stir to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken. Cook, covered, on high until a thermometer reads 170u00b0, 3-4 hours.
4
Remove chicken; shred meat with two forks, keep warm. If desired, slightly thicken juices by cooking in a saucepan over medium-high heat about 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Stir in bacon. Pour over chicken; sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve with rice and, if desired, lime wedges.
