Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. Red onion can be sliced and added to the slow cooker in one layer.
  2. In one layer, add chicken thighs.
  3. Half the baby potatoes should be washed and added to the slow-cooker.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Enjoy!
