Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
  • 16 ounces baby carrots
  • 16 ounces green beans, trimmed Add 30 minutes before cooking time ends
Sauce Ingredients
  • ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic recommended
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Add more for extra spice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken thighs, halved baby red potatoes, and baby carrots into a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours, basting the chicken every hour if possible.
  2. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the green beans.
Finishing Touches
  1. OPTIONAL: For crispier chicken skin, preheat your oven to broil. Transfer the chicken thighs, skin side up, to a baking sheet and broil for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. Serve the chicken with the vegetables, spoon sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For best results, use fresh garlic and baste the chicken for enhanced flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
