Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Mojo Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
Begin by taking a large resealable bag and pouring in the vibrant orange juice, zesty lime juice, and rich olive oil.
Step 2
Add a handful of fresh cilantro, a few cloves of pressed garlic, and the fragrant zest of both orange and lime.
Step 3
Sprinkle in oregano, salt, black pepper, and cumin, then toss in a couple of bay leaves for an aromatic touch.
Step 4
Next, introduce the chicken thighs to the bag, ensuring they are generously coated in this flavorful marinade.
Step 5
Squeeze out any excess air, seal the bag tightly, and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of six hours, or ideally overnight.
Step 6
Remember to flip the bag occasionally, giving it a gentle massage to ensure the marinade envelops the chicken evenly.
Step 7
When you're ready to cook, transfer both the marinated chicken and the marinade into a slow cooker.
Step 8
Set it to the Low setting and let it work its magic for four to five hours, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear.
Step 9
For peace of mind, check that an instant-read thermometer registers 165ยฐF (74ยฐC) near the bone.
Step 10
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma that fills your kitchen as this dish transforms into a succulent masterpiece.
