Description
Succulent bone-in chicken thighs slow-cooked with tender potatoes and green beans in a sticky honey garlic sauce. This one-pot meal provides rich flavor with minimal active preparation.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 pound baby red potatoes
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Whisk the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a medium bowl until combined.
- Cut the baby red potatoes in half and trim the ends of the green beans.
- Arrange the halved potatoes and baby carrots in an even layer across the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side up directly on top of the root vegetables.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables to coat them well.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for 6 to 7 hours or High heat for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Open the lid quickly and stir in the green beans, submerging them slightly in the sauce.
- Cover and continue cooking on the same heat setting for 30 more minutes until the beans are tender but still bright green.
- Verify the thickest part of the chicken thighs reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet and broil on high for 3 minutes to crisp the skin.
- Serve the chicken alongside the vegetables and drizzle with the remaining sauce from the pot.
- Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley immediately before serving.
Notes
- Adding the green beans later keeps them crisp and bright green.
- Broiling the skin creates a crispy texture after slow cooking.
