Juicy & Crispy Chicken Thighs

Servings: 6

Equipment

1. Measuing spoons
2. Small bowl
3. Fork

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 6 to 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total)

Instructions

1. Mix up the seasoning: Place the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl and whisk together with a fork.
2. Season the chicken: Coat the chicken thighs evenly on all sides with the seasoning mixture.
3. Place the chicken in the slow cooker: Place the chicken skin-side up in a single layer in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. It is important that the chicken thighs are skin-side up, with some space between them. Overcrowding will result in soft, rather than crispy, chicken skin.
4. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker, but leave the lid slightly askew — this allows venting. Cook on the LOW setting until tender and the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165°F, 6 to 7 hours.
5. Serve: Serve warm or pull the meat off the bones for tacos, sandwiches, etc.
