Crockpot Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs

This fall apart tender chicken, has delicious crispy skin and an amazing citrus taste.






Is it me, or have any of you also noticed the price of groceries increasing by the day. It makes it really hard to cook wholesome healthy meals for my family. I now see why people are so tempted to buy premade foods; it's much cheaper than fresh! Chicken here goes for about $5.99/lb. We sometimes get lucky and find some chicken legs or thigh for $1.99/lb. I'm thankful that the kids prefer dark meat cuts of chicken. Anytime it's on sale, I pick up several packages. 


That was the case a few weeks ago. I was grocery shopping and noticed the chicken legs and thighs on sale. So I bought a few packages of each. 


Wanting to cook them in the crock pot, while I spent the day at school, I went to Pinterest for ideas. I saw these gorgeous looking chicken thighs from The Magical Slow Cooker, so I decided to go over and give Sarah's recipe a peek. I'm glad I did, because it was perfect. It used ingredients I always have on hand, so I decided to go ahead and try it. I also loved the fact that Sarah broiled the chicken at the end, to crisp up the skin. Brilliant!!






Crock Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs

adapted from The Magical Slow Cooker


2-2.5 lbs chicken thighs (bone-in and skin on)

juice of 2 lemons

1/4 C olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbs lemon pepper

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 lemon, sliced


In a 6 qt crock pot, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, lemon pepper, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; whisk to combine.


Add the chicken thighs to the crock pot, one at a time, making sure to coat it in the sauce. Make sure thighs are skin side up, when you finish dipping them in the sauce. Top with lemon slices if desired.


Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hrs. Once chicken is done cooking, preheat your oven to BROIL. 


Place chicken, skin side up, on a foil lined baking sheet. Place chicken in the oven, on the top rack which has been place in the center of the oven. Broil chicken thighs for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve.

  3. Hi! Thank you for visiting us at our weekly link party! My husband loves chicken thighs and I never know what to make with them (I usually only eat chicken breast meat). I think this would be great to try (since I love lemon pepper and my crockpot!). You are being featured tomorrow at Wednesday Link Party 368. Here's the link to the feature in case you'd like to share it: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2020/10/fidra-hat-crockpot-chicken-recipe-diy-fall-wreath.html

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Black Forest Roll Cake

Light and fluffy cherry and whipped cream filling is rolled in an airy sponge cake. 13 years ago, I made a dinner that I was totally proud of. Not only did it taste wonderful, it looks fantastic too. I was so proud of myself that I took a photo, which I wanted to share with my friends and family. Only I didn't know how I could share it with everyone, at the same time. Then a thought came to me- a blog!!!  I've always been a foodie. While growing up, I'd often watch talk shows, just to see the cooking segments. I'd sit with a pen and paper, quickly jotting down ingredients and directions, to hopefully recreate recipes at home. I still remember a beet salad I begged my mom to let me make, asking her to buy raspberry wine vinegar for the dressing. It turned out to be something neither of us enjoyed, and up until a few years ago, Mom still had the vinegar in her cupboard.  I first started my first blog, Hun... What's  for Dinner?, as a way to share recipes with my famil
