    Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs is an easy weeknight chicken dinner! Served on a bed of rice or noodles the flavors blend beautifully together!

    Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs

    This is definitely an easy recipe to make any day of the week!  Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs are so simple!  Combine a few ingredients and right into the slow cooker it goes!  A perfect recipe! 

    Serve with rice or noodles!  This dish will satisfy, every time as it is different and delicious! 

    These chicken thighs are so yummy!  They can be served for any occasion or on any night of the week and this dish is always such a crowd pleaser!

    The flavors blend absolutely perfectly together and I couldn't believe it the first time I tried it myself!  This dish was so different than anything I had ever experimented with before and boy was I glad I did!

    I need change and although my husband Ken isn't always too keen on change my son and I always are!  After cooking in the kitchen for so many years I need to switch things up at least every once and a while.  Don't you?  I can't be the only one.  Can I?

    This easy, dump and go recipe is just the way we like them or at least I do. Just return home and serve this delightful chicken dish over your favorite noodles, rice, quinoa or even couscous! 

    I have even served it all over mashed potatoes!  Not on purpose of course!  We still enjoyed dinner even though I never would have used the mashed potatoes if I had any other choices in the house at the time!

      Have you tried this recipe with bone in skin on! ? Knowing of course cooking time will be longer? Too greasy?

        I have never tried it but now you’ve got me thinking. First I worry about the skin on the chicken so I would likely remove it. The skin won’t cook properly. Otherwise it would work. I’m going to try it myself. I hope you try it too. Then we can compare notes! I apologize for my delay in responding. We had a death in the family and I almost forgot I had a blog. Please take care and thank you again for the suggestion. I’m always grateful. All the best. Karin
