Juicy chicken coated in a thick rich sauce flavored with garlic, honey, and soy sauce is a slow cooker hit. Are you ready for one of the easiest and most delicious chicken recipes you’ll ever make in the slow cooker? Well, here it is! Crock Pot Chicken Thighs is a recipe creation that’s been on repeat in my kitchen for the past several weeks. It’s uncomplicated yet has a combination of flavors that go perfectly together. As the
chicken cooks low and slow, the simple 8-ingredient sauce infuses the perfect amount of sweet and savory flavors making this a recipe you will love. For this recipe, it’s really best to get a good sear on the chicken. It helps impart extra flavor. I use a cast iron skillet (get it screaming hot) to
brown the chicken. Work in 2 batches so that the chicken does not touch while you’re searing the skin. The cooked chicken and any leftover sauce store well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Store in a resealable
container then reheat before serving.Ingredients For This Recipe:
