Crock Pot Chicken Thighs Ingredients
The ingredients you will need for crock pot chicken are chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion, broth and your favorite seasonings. Easy enough, right? Just add all the ingredients in a crock pot and you are good to go.
Does chicken or vegetables go on bottom in crockpot?
In the debate on whether the chicken should go on top or bottom of the veggies in a crockpot. I have found that it really does not make a lot of difference, but I like to add the veggies on the bottom and place the chicken on top so I can season the top of the chicken well.
Does Crock Pot Chicken Thighs need to be covered in liquid?
It is best to leave the chicken slightly above the liquid. I like to add the seasonings to the top of the uncovered layer of chicken to ensure it soaks up the most flavor. If the chicken is completely submerged, you will likely have a flavorful broth, but your meat will be bland.
Should chicken be cooked on high or low in slow cooker?
Your chicken will likely be more tender if you cook it on low. I do cook my chicken on high from time to time, if I am in a rush. The best part of cooking in a crock pot is that you can get a tender bite every time, no matter what the temperature. But cooking chicken low and slow will ensure your meat is super tender.
Crock Pot Chicken Thighs Clean Up Tip
