Crazy Crockpot Chicken Thighs

CRAZY CROCKPOT CHICKEN THIGHS

PRINTER HAPPY VERSION >> > > > > 

This recipe was lovingly named by the elder of my two children.

He recently turned 11, and I am loving how much his quirky personality grows and changes each day... its growing and changing ALMOST as fast as he is Ha!      Any-who back to the business of food...

 

So what makes this Chicken "crazy" you ask? 

Well as I was preparing to make dinner, and getting all of my ingredients out- I pulled out our HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS SEAFOOD BLEND –the one with the little orange crab on the front, and set it on the counter by the fresh chicken thighs. He seemed a bit perplexed, looking back and forth between the spice and the chicken and with an all-too-familiar, are you loosing your mind again mom?... look and said “Mom, either you are confused or that meat came from one CRAZY looking crab. I laughed so hard Dr. Pepper almost came out of my nose, but it was worth it because that was the moment Crazy Crockpot Chicken was born!

 

In case you were wondering, I'm not TOTALLY crazy… the wonderful thing about ALL of the HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS Blends and Rubs is that they were created with a specific meat or dish in mind, BUT that doesn’t mean they aren’t amazing when you get a little crazy and mix it up. The seafood blend has a delicious mix of citrus and lemon and dill undertones. Which makes it delicious on seafood, chicken, baked potatoes, grilled veggies and even some cuts of pork. The possibilities are endless!

This recipe is about as easy as it gets. Its what I like to call a simple RUB>COOK>EAT situation and perfect for a crazy weekday meal…just how I like it- barely any prep, very few ingredients and the crockpot will do the rest of the work.

INGREDIENTS

4-5 Large Chicken Thighs, cleaned & trimmed (fresh or frozen will work)

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

2-3 Tablespoons HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS SEAFOOD RUB

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

¼ cup of water

HIMALAYAN Pink Sea Salt and Pepper to taste (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour ¼ cup of water into bottom of the crockpot, place the Chicken thighs right side up in the crockpot and brush with olive oil. Cover each Chicken Thigh well with the HS Seafood Rub and sprinkle with the lemon juice and salt and pepper if you choose. Set the Crockpot on low and cook for 5-6 hours. At around the 6 hour mark, the meat will be so tender it will fall off the bone! Outstanding!

I love serving this CRAZY chicken with a nice Rice Pilaf or even Parmesean Cous Cous. 

It also goes great with our 

Salt–Free/ Flavor-Full Baked Squash Fries
