Instructions
1-Getting started: with this crockpot BBQ chicken thighs recipe is simple and fun. First, gather your ingredients and prepare the chicken thighs by placing them in the slow cooker with the skin side up. Sprinkle with the BBQ seasoning and use tongs to coat them evenly for great flavor from the start.
2-Next, add β cup of the BBQ sauce and toss the chicken to make sure itβs well coated. This helps build that signature taste as it cooks. Then, cover and cook on high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender and ready to shine.
3-After cooking, remove the chicken and place it on a foil-lined, broiler-safe baking sheet with the skin side up. Brush with another β cup of BBQ sauce and broil on high for 2-3 minutes to add a nice char and crisp the skin. Finally, brush with additional BBQ sauce before serving to enhance the flavor even more.
