- Place the lid of the crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
- Pre-heat the broiler of your oven.
- Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
- Carefully place the chicken thighs on the foil in a single layer.
- Use a basting brush to spread the remaining bbq sauce on the chicken.
- Place the chicken thighs on the center rack in the oven.
- Broil until the sauce starts to bubble and caramelize. Should take about 5 minutes. Serve!
Notes
- I like to make these with either the skin off or on the chicken thighs. This is definitely your preference. The chicken thighs skin is really easy to pull off.
- I like to use G Hughes Sugar free BBQ sauce but you can use whichever one is your favorite.
- The broiler instructions for this crock pot chicken thighs recipe is definitely optional if you are pressed for time.
- The maximum I ever cook chicken in the crock pot is 4 hours on low. Any longer and the chicken becomes dry.
