Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cups barbecue sauce
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by coating it with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in the slow cooker in an even layer.
- Pour the barbecue sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

- Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs and set them aside on a serving platter.
- Whisk the remaining sauce in the slow cooker until smooth, then pour it over the chicken.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container.

- The chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the center reaches at least 165°F.
