This is one of my favorite slow cooker recipes cause it takes no time to prepare and is soooo good! We usually just serve it with rice and some veg.

This recipe served two purposes: it is dairy and soy free and it uses chicken thighs which my son’s pediatrician recommended for their iron content. It is also delicious! Even my husband liked it and he is skeptical of new recipes. It has the right amount of sweetness with a good mixture of spices. I reduced the cumin to 1/2 tsp for taste and it was just right for us. I served it with pasta and tossed the pasta in the pan juices before serving. It was also super easy. We will definitely have it again! Read More

Just okay... made recipe as written except did not sear chicken first so we could prep the night before. 6 hours was too long and chicken was a bit dry... 4 hours would probably have done it for small-medium size boneless thighs in a 6 qt crock on low setting. Thyme was overpowering for my taste but the sweet and savory flavor was otherwise good. If we make this recipe again I'll omit the thyme and reduce cook time. Read More

So easy. Made as suggested except with bone in thighs and only cooked 5 hrs. Perfectly done. Next time will use cornstarch at end with the juices Read More

I used bone-in thighs and let the spice rub set overnight. I enjoyed the subtle flavor which needed just a bit of salt. I will retain the juices and try a heavy for potatoes. Overall an easy and different recipe. Read More

I made this twice & I just didn't really care for this recipe. The cumin is overwhelming, in my opinion. The second time, I halved the cumin & I added garlic salt (because I like garlic & didn't taste it much the first time) but it still didn't do it for me. The name of the recipe says "with honey" but you don't really taste the honey at all. It's not that I dislike cumin & thyme, but I was expecting something a little different. Read More

Easy to make for sure. Appreciate minimal ingredients. Probably should have used better honey as the flavor wasn't strong in the dish. But overall very tasty and would definitely make again. Read More
