Ingredients
  

  • 1 red onion
  • 6-8 chicken thighs bone-in skin on
  • 1-1.5 lb baby potatoes
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 Tbsp fresh Thyme leaves
  • Sea salt
  • pepper
  • Asparagus thin and green

Instructions
 

  • Red onion can be sliced and added to the slow cooker in one layer.
  • In one layer, add chicken thighs.
  • Half the baby potatoes should be washed and added to the slow-cooker.
  • Mix together the zest of 1 lemon, the juice of the same lemon, olive oil and honey in a small bowl. Then, add olive oil, honey and finely chopped garlic to a slow cooker.
  • Secure the lid and set the timer for high or low. Set high for 3 hours, 4 hours or more. If you set low, it will take 6 to 8 hours.
  • After 15-20 minutes, turn the slow cooker on high. Add the asparagus to the top. Cover with a lid. The longer the asparagus is cooked, the thicker it will be.
  • Optional but recommended: Remove the chicken thighs 5 minutes before the timer is up. Place the chicken on a baking tray and broil on high for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the skin turns golden.
  • Enjoy!
