How To Make Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Legs
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Legs are easy to make. The slow cooker does most of the work for you!
Season the chicken legs with minced onion, salt and pepper. Next place the chicken broth in the bottom of the slow cooker then add the chicken legs to the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, honey, onion and soy sauce.
Once you have your honey garlic sauce ready simply pour it over the chicken legs in the slow cooker. Then set the slow cooker to low and cook for 5-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is done pull it out and mix together the water and cornstarch, and then put back in the slow cooker bowl. Add your chicken and cook for an additional 20 minutes on high, to thicken your sauce.
Serve with rice or whatever sides you like and you have a tasty dinner ready to go.

Could you use boneless chicken thighs? This sounds yummy and that's what I have in the freezer at the moment.
Thanks

Hi Diana. I haven't tried it with boneless chicken thighs but I think you could use them in place of the chicken legs.
