Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, combine the cumin, thyme, and paprika. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Generously rub the spice mixture onto all sides of the chicken thighs, ensuring even coverage. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken thighs on all sides to develop a rich, flavorful crust. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the browned chicken to the slow cooker and top with the finely chopped garlic. (2 minutes)

05

Step

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard until well combined. Pour this luscious mixture over the chicken. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is partially submerged. (1 minute)

07

Step

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for approximately 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and incredibly tender. (360 minutes)

08

Step

Once cooked, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (1 minute)

For an even richer flavor, consider searing the chicken thighs in a tablespoon of butter along with the oil.
Serve over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or alongside your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
If you like a thicker sauce, whisk one teaspoon of cornstarch with two teaspoons of cold water and add to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
