Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (360ml) barbecue sauce
1/4 cup (60ml) honey
2 tsp Creole mustard
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
9 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (approx. 2.9 lb / 1.3 kg)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine barbecue sauce, honey, Creole mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Place chicken in the slow cooker and pour sauce over top.
Gently stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours, or until chicken is tender and reaches 165°F.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Broil the cooked chicken for 2–3 minutes for a sticky glaze.
Use Dijon mustard with cayenne if Creole mustard isn’t available.
Leftovers are perfect for sandwiches, tacos, or over rice and potatoes.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
