Honey-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs Recipe

When it comes to chicken thighs, I am in all the way. Some people feel that it is the leftover parts of the other chicken pieces and usually, because of the price, it is often overlooked.

For me, I have to say that it is equal to the rest of the chicken, for one thing, it is always very moist and flavourful compared to the leg and breast parts. I tend to use the thighs more and more often into my dishes. I find that it has a great deal of clean meat and it always goes well with any side dish.

Try this dish and let me know, what did you add to it and what your Family and Friends think of it.

I started this recipe with six plump farmers chicken thighs. I like to keep this dish on the low-calorie side, so I removed the skins.

If your preference is to have the skin on, then it will be just as good, for the skin will add extra flavor to it. It can not go wrong.

Not all soya sauce is the same, some are more concentrated and some contain a lot of salt.

It is best to add about have of what you think you need and slowly add more to the ongoing cooking dish to get it right. In this recipe, I used a salted type soya sauce but you can use unsalted.

Add as many spices and/or herbs that you want, after all "it's your dish". How about adding some hot peppers, sweet peppers or any other hot spices you would like.

Make sure your mixture is well blended at this point before you add it to the chicken.

One thing I like about a slow cooker is that because of the long cooking time, the meat self-marinates and brings out that full flavor you want in this dish.

Thus eliminating the need to pre-marinate.

Now, lets set it on high for about 5 to 6 hours, forget about it and leave it alone to do its job. The time depends on the quality of the chicken you buy.

Now if you do remove the lid for any reason, remember that you have to increase the cooking time by a further 1/2 hour.

When the meat falls off the bone with ease or you can squeeze it easily, then you know it is done and ready.

Now, add your favorite side dish and make it your way.
