Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sear the chicken thighs in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Transfer the seared chicken thighs to the crock pot.

Step 7

Pour the sautéed onions, garlic, and prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring they're evenly coated.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or honey if needed.

Step 10

Serve the deviled chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your preferred side dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
