Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

I surprised myself with this one. It was a good recipe for when you don’t have a ton of ingredients in the house to make dinner with! We ended up loving it!

I did not use a slow cooker for this because mine broke, so I just used the oven. I did 350 for 2 hours then down to 175 to continue roasting but mostly stay warm. It turned out good, I like that it is so simple as far as ingredients and prep go.

I crushed and chopped fresh garlic, and added a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, which gave it the perfect balance between the two flavors. I also paired it with Gluten Free Biscuits, and vegetables, both seasoned with a Brown Sugar Rub, for a great pairing all the way around. The entire household loved it, so 10/10, would make this again!

There is no way the writer of this recipe made this chicken in the crockpot and had it turn out like the original photo. Save yourself some time and trouble and cook it in the oven. If you’re going to make this with chicken thighs, do it in the over at 400° for 35 mins. I would also check occasionally and baste chicken with the juices. If you decide to cook in the crockpot, it will probably be finished in 2 hours on high as opposed to 4. I did mine for 4 and the chicken was so dry that it was hard to eat.

It said not to add water or moisture, but ended up being way to dry and no flavor.
