Notes

๐Ÿ”ฅ Keep the lid on during cooking โ€” lifting it releases heat and can add 20โ€“30 minutes to the cook time.
๐Ÿง‚ Always taste and adjust seasoning at the end, as flavors mellow significantly during slow cooking.
๐Ÿ— For deeper flavor, sear the chicken thighs in a hot pan until golden before adding them to the slow cooker.
