If you’re new to this Blog, my name is Kristy and I do write about a lot of cooking and cleaning home tips over here. I’m just a busy mom with three kids.
That’s why I find myself using my lovely crockpot that prefers to use every time instead of my other ones and it is an Oval-Shaped slow cooker from All-Clad, and I share a lot of crock-pot recipes over here. Today, I’m going to be making a slow cooker bacon brown sugar garlic chicken. I will have the simple step-by-step recipe instructions down below so that you can get the exact measurements. I’ve made this before, and it’s really good and easy to do.
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN
To make this recipe, you’ll need some chicken thighs, bacon, garlic, brown sugar, and of course, salt and pepper. I’m using chicken thighs, but you can use chicken breast for this recipe. We’re not big chicken thighs fans, but for this recipe, the thighs seem to work out better. They had so much more flavor and were much more tender than what a chicken breast would have been.
First, take your chicken thighs and place them into the crock pot. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and then also some minced garlic. Next, take some tongs and just toss those around to make sure that the salt and pepper, and garlic are coated on every piece. Then take each chicken thigh, wrap those in two slices of bacon each, and set them back into the crock pot.
Once you have your chicken wrapped in bacon, sprinkle some brown sugar on top of all of the pieces. You can use your hand to make it more even. Put the lid on and let this cook on high for five hours. You can do low if you want to cook it longer, but we were pressed for time this day.
After five hours, the chicken is sitting in a lot of fat from the bacon, so take the pieces of chicken out and place them onto a pan and put them in the oven to broil a little bit and get that caramelization on top and add that crisp to the bacon. They almost had a smoked flavor to them, and they smelled delicious while they were cooking all day.
I put them under the broiler on low for just a couple of minutes, and then on the side, we had some yellow rice and broccoli. As I mentioned before, you can totally do this with chicken breast, but I do recommend using chicken thighs as they are more tender and add a lot more flavor.
