Why You’ll Love This Recipe
🍁 Only 3 ingredients—pantry staples!
⏱️ 5 minutes prep, then walk away
💛 One slow cooker = easy cleanup
💸 Costs under $8—feeds 4–6 generously
🌾 Naturally nut-free & easily gluten-free (use GF soy sauce)
Ingredients You’ll Need
(6-quart slow cooker)
2½ lbs (1.1 kg) bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, but thighs stay juicier)
½ cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup—must be 100% maple)
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
Optional but traditional: 2 cloves garlic (minced) or 1 tsp grated ginger (still counts as “3-ingredient” in home cooking!)
💡 Pro Tips:
Use bone-in thighs—they add richness and stay moist during long cooking.
Don’t stir after adding sauce—chicken braises gently in its own juices.
Skim fat before serving for a cleaner glaze (optional).
