Description
A straightforward recipe for tender chicken thighs cooked slowly in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up in the slow cooker.
- Pour the chicken broth around the chicken thighs, not over the skin.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Notes
- For crispier skin, place the cooked thighs on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- You can add chopped onions or carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker for extra flavor.
