Just because summer is quickly approaching in about two weeks does not mean that you need to put your crockpot in storage. Rain or shine, winter or summer, slow cookers are meant to be used 365 days of the year, and it comes in really handy when you move into a new home and you have no idea if the oven or gas range is working yet.
Seriously. We have been living in our new home for less than a week and I have yet to test out the stove. But my slow cooker never fails me, especially in this glorious one pot meal, packed with the most flavor-packed chicken thighs and three different kinds of veggies.
The recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, which I highly recommend using if you decide to broil the chicken at the very end to help crisp up the skin. But this is a completely optional step so if you decide to skip this, it is best to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts). You can’t go wrong either way!
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
- 16 ounces baby carrots
- 16 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
For the sauce
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Equipment
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes and pepper.
- Place chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots and soy sauce mixture into a 6-qt slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, basting every hour. Add green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- OPTIONAL: Preheat oven to broil. Place chicken thighs onto a baking sheet, skin side up, and broil until crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve chicken immediately with potatoes, carrots and green beans, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Anazing!! All I can say is WoW!! Will definitely make it again! My dad’s comment was “it’s better than Boston Market!” And my mom’a was “can you cook every night?” Huge hit! Love this recipe and will share it with those I love!
I hated the flavor of this recipe. It was gross, never again will i make this dish. Disappointed.
Wow! This is by far the best tasting slow cooker recipe I’ve tasted. Everything was amazing. I did not broil the chicken and used bone in thighs. I cooked this meal on low for about 6 hrs and high for the last 1.5. I made Jasmine rice to eat with this recipe as well. I will definitely be making this again. I had enough for leftovers for the next couple of days. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!
I was a little disappointed in this one. It was decent, but not great, and definitely not appetizing to look at, even if you broil the chicken. The potatoes and carrots were completely brown. Next time I think I’d do the potatoes separately so everything isn’t the same colour and flavour.
This is hands down one of the best things I have ever made in my slow cooker. I didn’t change a thing. I didn’t even broil the chicken after it was done because it looked browned. This is a keeper.
Husband said not to add this to our usual menu..He didn’t like the veggies with it. We like the chicken but next time maybe over rice with ginger and sesame oil as seasonings instead of basil and oregano…maybe some red and green peppers during the last hour of cooking…but I wanted to try it as submitted the first time…
Can I use chicken drums instead? Does it take the same amount of time to cook?
It looks amazing and drooled on myself but Sodium 1445.4mg ??!!
Sluggish stoves are excellent for summer in the south-less warmth in the cooking area than the oven. This looks actually delish and i recognize my household is mosting likely to love it. Thanks so much for the dish.
Oh! Wow!!
Really amazing delicious recipe and healthy. So helpful, My wife loves it. Thanks CHUNGAH.
oh man, i made this like a couple months back, and it was amazing!!! The chicken was tender, flavors were delic, and veggies so good!!! I’m glad i just saw this again in my pins, cuz it’s been way too long since i made it!!! i think this time i might try that adding a little cornstarch business, and see how it goes having a bit more of a glaze feel to the sauce…i wonder if i can just add a couple tbs of it towards the end of cooking, if that would do the trick (I’m a total novice when it comes to cornstarch, this would actually be my first attempt at using the stuff, ha)?…but thanx so much for this tot delicious reciepe, what an awesome meal!!!
Made this tonight, being a lazy day/ 12 hour work day I did not baste, left in the crock for 12 hours, didn’t broil (I picked the skin off mine, everyone else ate it) and went with half the amount of soy sauce but only because the only soy sauce I had in-house was full-salt super thick traditional soy sauce and I was worried about it being too thick.
I was surprised how well this turned out with all the substitutions, and shortcuts I took. Kudos, great recipe.
I can even see the sauce on something else because it was really good.
This is so delicious!! Just what I wanted: a healthy meal AND it’s super easy!! I did baste every other hour and broil. I will definitely make this again! Thanks for posting!
I am confused. The video shows 3 bone-in thighs.
The written recipe calls for 8 bone in thighs. Was it a typo? Is it 8oz?
Please help- thanks.
The video is a reduced version of the recipe, but the recipe is correct for 8 chicken thighs.
Dreadful. I apologized to my slow cooker for the invasion.
I made this last night. It was a hit with everyone! Only subs I made was using skinless boneless thighs and chili garlic sauce instead of the chili flakes. It was so yummy and kids even wanted to take some for lunch today…
I was looking for something to do with Costco’s chicken breasts. I cut two sections of their 8.6 lb package into large cubes for this recipe. We just finished eating it. DELICIOUS!!! I think a “wide brim” cooker would work better than the deep one I have as the potatoes needed a bit more (always do, even when I put them on the bottom), but all else was wonderful. I’ll make this again, plus it’s colorful and eye appealing, especially here in the fall. Thanks for the recipe!!
Broil chicken before crockpot or after?
After.
Delicious. I used thighs with bone and skin. Makes lots of juice. Basting not necessary if chicken is immersed in liquid. Unable to place under broiler. Chicken fell apart while trying to remove. Make sure beans are immersed. If not, any on top will not be cooked; while any in the juices will be.
I made this with boneless/skinless chicken breasts and quartered yellow potatoes, no veggies. Also threw in two quartered shallots and a few whole garlic, peeled. Cooked on high for 7 hours, stirring it every hour. Started with the potatoes on the bottom and about half way through mixed the chicken in more and they came out perfectly. The sauce thickened and the chicken was moist/broke apart. Family loved it. This is good to make on the weekend when you have time to tend to it, and then you can pack it up for t meals during the week.
I meant to say that I cooked this on LOW, not HIGH. Sorry!
