Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables by washing and chopping the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Place them in the bottom of your crock pot.
  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Place them skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and olive oil. Pour this garlic butter mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Add the chicken broth to the crock pot around the edges, being careful not to wash the seasoning off the chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  6. If you prefer crispy skin, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with the vegetables and pan juices.

Notes

For extra flavor, brown the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Don't overcrowd the crock pot - make sure vegetables are in a single layer for even cooking. If your slow cooker collects moisture, place a paper towel under the lid to absorb excess condensation.
