SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN
Sometimes I want a slow cooker recipe that will cook all day, but chicken will be too dry if it cooks that long. That’s why this slow cooker chicken recipe is great for a weeknight. It cooks in about 3 hours!

You will have time to mix this up and get it cooking while you do your afternoon running around, being a soccer/dance/sports parent, dealing with homework/pets/catching up, or whatever else needs your attention.

WHICH CUTS OF CHICKEN WORK BEST IN THIS RECIPE?
Bone-in chicken legs and bone-in chicken thighs are the best for this recipe as written. I like dark meat as it stays very juicy and tender.
Chicken breasts will do well if you keep a close eye on the cook time (they may need less time, depending on their size).
If you are using skinless boneless chicken thighs, they will probably need less time as well, due to being smaller and not having the bone or skin.
