I found this in a Cooking Light slow cooker book at Barnes and Nobles $1.99 table. I am always on the look out for easy recipes I can do at the firehouse to feed hungry guys for a reasonable price. I put this on in the morning and by 6 pm I add a salad to the meal. Done! The guys at work loved it.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
Season the chicken thighs well: Use a flavorful blend of spices and herbs to season the chicken thighs before cooking. This will help to create a delicious and flavorful dish.
Sear the chicken thighs before cooking: Searing the chicken thighs in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker will help to brown the skin and lock in the flavor.
Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will add flavor to the chicken thighs, so be sure to use a flavorful broth or sauce. You can also add some vegetables or herbs to the cooking liquid for extra flavor.
Cook the chicken thighs on low heat: Cooking the chicken thighs on low heat will help to keep them moist and tender. Cook the chicken thighs for at least 6-8 hours, or until they are cooked through.
Thicken the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth.
