We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

And then, gently stir everything together until combined.

There is no need to add any water, the slow cooking of the ingredients will gently release enough liquid. Place the lid on top and set off on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Check the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving.

You can gently pull apart for the chicken so that it is shredded or leave it as it is and serve them as whole thighs.

Serve with your choice of sides, I like it with some rice or potato wedges.

I hope you enjoy this slow cooker recipe, let me know in the comments if you end up making it!
