Variations & Tips

For a twist, you can add sliced onions or bell peppers to the slow cooker for additional flavor and texture. If your family enjoys a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes. For those who prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the brown sugar to 1/4 cup. You can also use bone-in chicken thighs for a richer flavor, but note that cooking time may need to be adjusted.
