- 5 chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in

- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly in the seasoning.
2. Arrange in the Slow Cooker:
- Flip the chicken so the skin side is facing up for even cooking and a better presentation.
3. Add Brown Sugar:
- Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the chicken thighs.
4. Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Notes
- For extra flavor, sear the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
- If you prefer a caramelized glaze, transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
