Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 40 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down first, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the peeled garlic cloves and sauté until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits, then simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Transfer the garlic cloves, wine sauce, and chicken thighs to the crock pot.

Step 6

Add the chicken broth, fresh rosemary, and thyme sprigs to the crock pot. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

If you prefer a thicker sauce, after the chicken is cooked, remove 1/4 cup of the liquid and whisk it with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Stir the mixture back into the crock pot and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes to thicken.

Step 9

Serve the chicken with the garlic cloves and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
