- Method: Slow Cooker / Crock Pot
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (I use coconut aminos)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp mustard (any variety)
- 3 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Place chicken skin-side up in a 6 qt or larger slow cooker. It’s okay if the chicken pieces are touching.
- In a large measuring cup, stir together the remaining ingredients. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours, or on LOW for 5 hours, or until the chicken reads 160F (?) with a meat thermometer.
- Serve warm with the sauce from the slow cooker if desired.
Notes
If you can’t find bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, or if you simply prefer meat without bones, you can substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs.
Boneless meat cooks a bit faster than bone-in, so reduce the cook time to 4 hours on LOW, or 2 hours on HIGH if you make this substitution.
