Chicken thighs are something I didn’t really cook a lot with until my husband requested them. They taste amazing grilled and I’ve really grown to love cooking them. This slow cooker recipe came out really good. I only wish I would have lightly grilled the chicken to give it an added layer of flavor, but I have to say that it came out pretty good.
