Sticky crock pot chicken thighs

This recipe is a combo of many, but I think we got it right this time!  Using boneless skinless chicken thighs makes the best meal, but any chicken pieces will do. If you use breasts, I wouldn't cook them as long as the thighs.

Ingredients

8-10 Chicken thighs, or more

1 cup brown sugar

1 T 🧄 powder

1 T onion powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chili powder

Mix dry ingredients together and dredge chicken.

Add 1 T oil to skillet and brown thighs. Add to crockpot

Mix together

3/4 ketchup

1/2 c brown sugar

1/4 c soy sauce

1T balsamic vinegar

Pour over chicken. Top with 1/2 bottle of Coke zero or Diet coke.

Cook on low 3-4 hours for boneless thighs. Add more ketchup and brown sugar as necessary.

Cook sauce down until it thickens. Add cornstarch if necessary. Baste 🍗 cken with sauce mixed with sweet chili sauce and broil a few minutes.  Serve with white rice.
