Slow Cooker Sprite Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs
These Slow Cooker Sprite Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs are sticky, sweet, and perfectly balanced with a light citrus finish. The chicken is seasoned and seared first, then slow cooked in a glossy sauce made from Sprite and sweet chili sauce. As it cooks, the sauce thickens into a flavorful glaze that coats every bite.
