Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, basil, chili flakes and black pepper. Set aside.
Place the potatoes, carrots and half of the chicken thighs in a 6-quart slow cooker. Season with pepper, and pour half of the sauce over the chicken and veggies.
Place the remaining chicken on top of the seasoned chicken and pour the remaining sauce evenly over everything. Season again with black pepper.
Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours – or cook on low for 7 to 8 hours – basting occasionally. Add the green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Tip

Prefer crispy skin on your chicken thighs? Broil them! After cooking in the slow cooker, preheat your oven to broil. Place the thighs on a sheet pan, skin-side up, and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until you reach your desired crispiness.
