With tender chicken thighs coated in a sweet-and-spicy glaze of orange marmalade<\/strong>, Sriracha<\/strong>, and fresh lime juice<\/strong>, this dish is a bold twist on classic slow cooker comfort food.<\/p>\n

Best of all? It only takes 5 ingredients<\/strong>, and the slow cooker does all the work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • \n

    2 pounds<\/strong> boneless, skinless chicken thighs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1 cup<\/strong> all-purpose flour<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1 cup<\/strong> orange marmalade<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \u00bc cup<\/strong> Sriracha sauce<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Juice of 2 limes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/h2>\n

    \u2705 Step 1: Coat the Chicken<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Lightly coat each chicken thigh in flour<\/strong>, shaking off any excess.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      This light coating will help thicken the sauce<\/strong> as the chicken cooks and give a subtle texture to the final dish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u2705 Step 2: Make the Sauce<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        In a mixing bowl, whisk together:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Orange marmalade<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Sriracha sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Fresh lime juice<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          The result? A sweet, tangy, and spicy glaze that\u2019s perfectly balanced.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \u2705 Step 3: Load the Slow Cooker<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • \n

            Arrange the floured chicken in a single layer<\/strong> at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \u2705 Step 4: Cook Low and Slow<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • \n

              Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              No need to stir mid-way, though giving it a gentle mix at the 2-hour mark can help distribute the sauce evenly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Once done, the chicken will be fall-apart tender<\/strong> and beautifully coated in that sticky, spicy glaze.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Don\u2019t skip the flour<\/strong> \u2014 it helps the sauce cling to the chicken and thickens it as it cooks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Prefer less heat? Use half the Sriracha<\/strong> or swap it for sweet chili sauce.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Try this with boneless chicken breasts<\/strong> if you prefer white meat (adjust cooking time slightly).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
