Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients: mince the garlic, dice the onion, and measure out all seasonings and liquids.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step is optional but adds rich flavor.

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Set your crock pot to cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Step 8
Once done, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Optional: Remove the chicken and shred it for serving, or leave the thighs whole.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken alongside steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
