Notes
- Make sure the chicken is in a single layer in your slow cooker, so that it is all sitting in the liquid.
- For the best flavour, spoon the liquid from the slow cooker over the chicken before serving.
- If you want to retain extra crispiness in these slow cooker chicken thighs, then put a tea towel between the lid and the pot and it will soak up the condensation.
- A little bit of lemon in the stock adds a lovely freshness.
- Sprinkle some red chilli flakes on top before serving for some added spice.
