Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Ensure each piece is evenly coated with the spices.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 2-3 minutes until they develop a golden crust. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes. Transfer to the crock pot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Pour this mixture over the chicken thighs in the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, serve the chicken thighs with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to keep it keto-friendly. Optionally, broil the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the skin before serving.
