Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 green onion whole
- ½ yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds removed
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. ground thyme
- ½ tsp. ground cloves
- ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp. ground allspice
Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides to brown—no need to cook through, the slow cooker will finish the job.
- Transfer the browned chicken thighs to the slow cooker.
- In a food processor, combine the green onion, yellow onion, garlic, ginger, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, thyme, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. Pulse until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve the chicken with the desired sides and garnish with the cilantro if desired.
