  • 5 chicken thighs skin on, bone-in
  • ▢2 tablespoons garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and garlic to the slow cooker.

  • Mix it up then flip the chicken skin side up.
  • Sprinkle on the brown sugar.
  • Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • (Optional) Serve with fresh chopped parsley sprinkled over the top.
