Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4-6 Tablespoons softened butter (1 Tablespoon per piece of chicken)
- Garlic Salt
- Black Pepper
- 4-6 Chicken Breast or Thighs Bone-in, Skin-on
Instructions
- Season thawed chicken - on both sides - heavily with garlic salt and black pepper.
- Rub softened butter over the surface of each piece of chicken, top and bottom.
- Put into crock pot insert, and cook on high for 2 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.
- Remove from crock pot, and place onto a broil pan.
- Broil chicken in oven for approximately 5 minutes or until skin is golden brown and crispy. Be sure to watch chicken closely so the skin doesn't burn.
Notes
- Who knew you could make a crispy crock pot chicken recipe? In all honesty, the crock pot makes the chicken moist, and a broiling step makes the skin crispy.
- Be sure to use skin-on, thawed chicken. I prefer thighs but breasts would work too.
- Substitute garlic powder and salt for garlic salt.
- Margarine can be substituted for butter in this slow cooker fried chicken recipe.
- Use an digital thermometer like this one to make sure this crispy crock pot chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
- Use a oven safe broiler pan for the broiling step.
- Do not walk away from the chicken while broiling; it can easily go from beautiful golden brown to burnt black!
- Serve this along side Old Fashioned Pea Salad.
