Ingredients

Scale

1 onion (250g)
3–4 large garlic cloves
1 green bell pepper (200g, roughly chopped)
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry basil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Juice of one lime
2 pounds (907g) bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, about 4 pieces
1 pound red baby potatoes

Instructions

Step 1: In your food processor add onions and garlic and process.
Step 2: Add the bell pepper and pulse for a couple of time.
Step 3: In a deep bowl, dump the content of the food processor.
Step 4: Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chicken and potatoes. Mix well.
Step 5: Dip the chicken pieces in the onion mixture rubbing it all around and trying to get under the skin.
Step 6: Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
Step 7: Cut the potatoes in halves and toss well with the rest of the onion mixture.
Step 8: Add potatoes to the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
Step 9: In the last hour of cooking, open the lid and mix the contents of the slow cooker so the potatoes are at the bottom and the chicken pieces are at the top. Cover and continue to cook.
Step 10: If desired, remove chicken pieces to an oven safe plate and broil for 4 minutes or until skin is crispy to your liking.

Notes

You can use bone-in chicken breasts as well; place them meat side down to keep them moist. The sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker is great over rice. For more tender potatoes, place them at the bottom from the beginning.
