Instructions
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, rosemary, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
Add Chicken to Crockpot:
Place the chicken thighs or breasts in the crockpot. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
