Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken
Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken uses bone-in, skin-on thighs browned before slow cooking in a sauce made from green onions, jalapeno, soy sauce, vinegar, and spices. The result is tender chicken infused with spicy, herbal jerk flavors. Cooking on low for several hours allows the meat to become juicy and absorb the marinade.
