Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Generously season the bone-in chicken thighs with salt and pepper, coating both sides. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry white wine, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  4. Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top, fitting snugly.
  5. Pour the wine-mustard mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle covered with dried thyme.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until tender.
  7. Once cooking is complete, adjust seasoning to taste and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
