Ingredients
6–8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
Instructions
Trim excess skin from chicken thighs if desired.
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried rosemary, and chicken stock.
Place chicken thighs in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour the prepared liquid mixture evenly over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until chicken is tender and cooked through.
Notes
For best results, rub dried oregano between your palms before adding to release essential oils. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken after cooking and whisk a small amount of cornstarch slurry into the juices in a saucepan until thickened.
