SOME NOTES ABOUT THIS SLOW COOKER BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN:
Yes, you can absolutely make this meal in the oven. Set it on a sheet pan just like you would in the slow cooker and roast at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes (you may want to use foil).
Want some spice? Add in crushed red pepper or a squirt of Sriracha.
If you want an even deeper caramel flavor, try dark brown sugar.
Do not add any liquid! I know it can be scary to cook dry in a slow cooker, the chicken will release a lot of liquids.
Serve with rice or potato wedges and roasted vegetables.
