Ingredients:
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix the melted butter, chicken broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the lemon garlic butter sauce.
- Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot in a single layer.
- Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the chicken thighs, making sure they are well coated.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours. If you prefer a faster cooking time, you can cook it on high heat for 2 hours.
- After the cooking time is complete, check the chicken thighs for doneness. They should be tender and cooked through.
- Optional: For an extra touch of flavor and presentation, broil the chicken thighs in the oven for a few minutes to achieve a crispy skin. Transfer the cooked chicken thighs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until the skin turns golden and crispy.
- Once done, remove the chicken thighs from the crockpot and place them on a serving platter.
- Spoon some of the lemon garlic butter sauce from the crockpot over the chicken thighs for added moisture and flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices for a bright and appetizing display.
Note: You can adjust the seasoning and lemon juice according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a tangier flavor, you can add more lemon juice.
