Ingredients
•
1 (1 1/2 pound) package small yellow-fleshed potatoes
•
3 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
•
3 small apples, peeled and diced
•
1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
•
1 cup chicken broth
•
1/2 cup honey
•
1/3 cup applesauce
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1
Chop any large potatoes in half.
2
Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add chicken thighs on top of potatoes, and spread apples and onion over top.
3
Mix chicken broth, honey, applesauce, garlic, salt, cinnamon, cumin, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over chicken mixture.
4
Cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours on Low, or about 3 hours on High. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
6
Remove chicken thighs from the slow cooker and place, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
7
Broil in the preheated oven until skin is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with potatoes, apples, onions, and sauce.
