Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken Thighs bone-in or boneless
½ teaspoon Paprika
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Sauce:

½ cup Ketchup
¼ cup Soy Sauce
4 Garlic Cloves minced
3 tablespoon Honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix all of the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
In another bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Season chicken all over with spices.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Carefully add chicken thighs to the hot skillet and cook for about 1 minutes on each side until golden. Flip over and cook for another 1 minutes until golden.
Transfer chicken thighs to your slow cooker. Pour sauce over chicken thighs. Cook chicken on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours.
When done, chicken will be fork tender and at least 165 degrees(internal temp). Serve chicken with spooned sauce from your slow cooker and fresh chopped green onions.

Notes

I used bone in chicken thighs, you can also use boneless chicken thighs or breasts.
