Method
 

How to Make Garlic Butter Chicken Crockpot
  1. Begin by patting dry your bone-in chicken thighs to ensure they sear beautifully. If you have a little extra time, sear them in a skillet until golden, which enhances the flavor.
  2. In your trusty slow cooker, layer the dried chicken, minced garlic, and chunks of butter. Sprinkle in comforting potatoes and sweet carrots to envelop your chicken with wholesome goodness.
  3. Set your slow cooker to low and let it work its magic for 6 hours, or if you're in a pinch, you can select high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be fall-off-the-bone tender and oh-so-succulent!
  4. Once cooking is complete, give your dish a little breather and let it sit for 10 minutes to deepen the flavors. Then, check the doneness before serving to avoid overcooking.
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor!
