Slow cooker brown sugar chicken, you will need the following ingredients to make this incredible recipe:
Ingredients:
3 pounds of chicken thighs, removed the skin
1/2 tsp of kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
1/4 tsp of Creole or Cajun seasoning (such as Slap Ya Mama), or to taste
1/4 tsp of garlic powder, or to taste
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
(1) (6 oz) can of pineapple juice
1/3 cup of soy sauce
2 tbsp of cornstarch
2 tbsp of water
Directions:
1. Use the salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, and garlic powder to remove the skin from chicken & season lightly, pat in the chicken seasoning, and place and cook in the slow cooker. Whisk brown sugar, pineapple juice & soy sauce together; sprinkle around the chicken. Depending on the chicken size, cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Use a large spatula to remove the chicken from the slow cooker to a platter of aluminum foil & loosely tent; set aside to prepare the glaze.
2. Turn the cooker to high until the mixture boils, or transfer to the stovetop to a casserole. Whisk the water & cornstarch together until there are no lumps. Slowly stir in the boiling sauce until fully incorporated and continue to boil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the mixture gets thick. Remove from heat, and take a moment to rest. Brush the sauce over each thigh of the chicken and serve on the table with the remaining sauce.
Note:
I also added a few grinds of Perfect Poultry seasoning by Rachel Ray to the chicken, containing sea salt, back pepper, onion, sage, rosemary & thyme. I used soy sauce low in sodium too.
