How to Make Slow Cooker Bone-in Chicken Thighs with Herbs

Have you ever slow-cooked bone-in chicken thighs before? It’s actually incredibly easy. This delicious savory recipe only takes a few moments to prepare and it tastes incredible. I like to serve my chicken with jasmine rice and pour some of the drippings over the rice. Wowza! This is honestly one of the most delicious meals I have created and I hope you love it too! My fiance was wowed by it and it’s different from anything I’ve ever cooked him before. I often buy boneless skinless chicken but I have heard that the bone-in pieces are more flavorful and tender. I totally agree! It will be hard to go back to cooking boneless after this delicious feast! I love slow cooker recipes like this slow-cooker bone-in chicken thighs because they are so easy!
