OPTIONAL SEAR: Heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for ⏱️ 2 minutes each side to get a nice sear. (Do not cook chicken all the way through, this step is purely for flavour.)Transfer chicken thighs to a 6-qt (litre) slow cooker bowl.

SAUCE:
5
Melt butter in the same pan the chicken was in, scraping up any leftover browned bits in the pan. Add garlic and sauté for ⏱️ 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a rapid simmer for ⏱️ 1 minute. Remove from heat.
teaspoon garlic powder1/2garlic (finely chopped or minced)6 cloves
6
SLOW COOK:
7
Pour sauce over chicken in slow cooker bowl, flipping thighs in the sauce to evenly coat. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH heat setting for ⏱️ 2-3 hours, or LOW heat setting for ⏱️ 5-6 hours. Baste with sauce half way through cooking.
8
Transfer chicken onto serving dish and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
9
While chicken is resting: pour juices from the slow cooker bowl into a pot large enough to fit the liquid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
10
Whisk 1/4 cup water (or broth) with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch/cornflour into a lumpfree slurry. Whisk into sauce and let simmer for a good ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, or until thickend into a syrup-like consistency. (Please note: sauce will thicken as it cools). For a thicker sauce, repeat this step with 1 teaspoon extra cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water. Add into sauce and cook until thickened. Continue this step until reaching your desired consistency.
