Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless or skin-on)
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Sear the chicken thighs in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a medium bowl, mix together tomato paste, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and chicken broth to create the sauce.
Transfer the seared chicken thighs to the crock pot.
Pour the sautéed onions, garlic, and prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or honey if needed.
Serve the deviled chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your preferred side dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
