Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ¾ cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs evenly on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the thighs skin-side down until the skin is golden and crisped up.
- Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker, placing it skin-side up.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Pour the sauce around the chicken rather than directly over the skin so it stays intact while cooking.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours until the chicken is tender.
- During the last 30 minutes, uncover the slow cooker to let the sauce thicken slightly before serving.
Notes
Searing the chicken enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey and brown sugar.
This dish pairs well with coleslaw or cornbread.
