Equipment

  • 6-quart Slow Cooker
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces baby carrots
  • 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 16 ounces green beans trimmed
  • 16 ounces baby red potatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Combine the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a large bowl to prepare the sauce.
  • Arrange the chicken thighs, halved baby red potatoes, and baby carrots in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 7–8 hours, or on high heat for 3–4 hours. Baste the chicken with the sauce every hour for enhanced flavor.
  • Add the green beans to the slow cooker during the final 30 minutes of cooking.
  • (Optional) Preheat your oven to broil. Place the cooked chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin-side up, and broil for 3–4 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy.
  • Serve immediately, pairing the chicken with the potatoes, carrots, and green beans. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
