Ingredients

  • 2 lb. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs ((4-5 chicken thighs))
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Stir the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl. Use your hands to rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure they're coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then place the chicken skin side down into the skillet and cook it for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy; transfer to your slow cooker skin side up.

  3. 3

    Pour the broth into your slow cooker, then add the diced butter and garlic. Cook the chicken in LOW for 4.5-5 hours, checking the internal temperature is at 165°F before removing it. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
