Thighs are the most overlooked part of the chicken. If you want a big piece of white meat, you'll likely opt for a breast. And who doesn't like a good chicken wing? Then, of course, there are drumsticks. But let's not forget the thighs. If you buy a whole chicken, you're going to have that flavorful and oft-neglected thigh meat. If you have a slow cooker, that's even better.
With a slow cooker, you can let the thigh meat cook while you handle other matters around your home. The chicken will get tender and infused with flavor, without your having to keep an eye on the cooking process. There are many delicious recipes that feature chicken thighs prepared in a slow cooker. Here are a few for you to try.
