A comforting and easy crockpot recipe featuring tender honey garlic chicken thighs paired with crispy roasted potatoes. Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 pounds (700 g) Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: dried thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken thighs in the crockpot in a single layer and pour the honey garlic sauce over them, coating each piece.
  3. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. While the chicken cooks, wash and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional dried herbs.
  5. Roast potatoes in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking basket every 5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  6. Optional: For crispier chicken skin, transfer chicken to a broiler-safe pan and broil skin-side up for 3-5 minutes until golden, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Serve chicken thighs with crispy potatoes and spoon extra sauce from the crockpot over the chicken.

Notes

For crispier chicken skin, broil at the end for 3-5 minutes. Cook potatoes separately to keep them crispy. If sauce is too thin, remove chicken and simmer sauce on stove to thicken. Do not overcrowd potatoes when roasting for best crispiness. Fresh garlic is essential for flavor.
