Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, quartered
  • 3 large carrots, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Wash and quarter the baby potatoes, slice the carrots, and chop the onion. Place these vegetables at the bottom of your crock pot to create a natural rack for the chicken.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Mix together the thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley to create the garlic butter sauce.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the crock pot. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly. Add the chicken broth around the sides.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
  6. Serve the garlic butter chicken hot with the tender potatoes and carrots, spooning the cooking juices over everything for maximum flavor.

Notes

For best results, use bone-in chicken thighs for juiciness, don't skip patting chicken dry for better seasoning adhesion, and for extra crispy skin broil cooked chicken for 2-3 minutes before serving. Chicken should reach 165°F internal temperature.
