Ingredients
- 8 whole chicken thighs (with skin and bone-in)
- 1 lb baby red potatoes
- 1 bag baby carrots (16 oz)
- 1 pound green beans, cleaned and trimmed
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Cooking Directions
- Sauce Preparation: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
- Layering: Place 4 chicken thighs at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Lavishly drizzle half of the prepared sauce over the chicken.
- Adding Vegetables: Scatter the baby red potatoes and carrots over the chicken. Place the remaining thighs on top and pour the rest of the sauce over.
- Slow Cooking Magic: Seal the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, allowing the ingredients to meld and infuse.
- Final Touch: Approximately 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, add the green beans to the mix. This ensures they retain their crisp texture and bright color.
