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 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, avoiding the skin to keep it 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
For extra flavor, marinate chicken in spices overnight.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for safety.
Feel free to adjust mustard and honey ratios for desired sweetness.
