Notes
- To ensure the crockpot barbecue chicken thighs are cooked thoroughly, you can use a thermometer. Chicken must be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F to be safe to eat.
- Place any leftover chicken thighs into an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make a slurry with water and cornstarch and whisk it into the BBQ sauce if it is too thin after the chicken is fully cooked.
