  3. 03

    Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours or on High for 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°.

Chicken Thigh Variations

  • Love chicken thighs as much as I do? Here are some of my other favorite ways to prepare them:
  • Cacio e Pepe Chicken: I'm obsessed with cacio e pepe, so this pasta-inspired chicken dinner is my go-to for a dinner party.
  • Red Curry Chicken Thighs: Flavor-packed and budget-friendly, this is one of my favorite dinners to cook up when I need some warming comfort.
  • Creamy Chicken Marsala Gnocchi Soup: If you're in cozy soup mode (like me), then this hearty, Marsala-spiked soup will warm you up on cold nights.
