Once again the slow cooker is saving dinner in our house!

I had to make this twice to get it right. The first time I used equal amounts honey and wholegrain mustard. It was at once too sweet and too grainy. Less honey, different mustards and the addition of garlic give it a more rounded savoury flavour.

I add a touch of stock to the bottom of the pan for two reasons: a) so the honey doesn’t catch and make a washing up nightmare and b) mixed with the cooking juice you have a ready made sauce to spoon over your meal. Just make sure it isn’t covering your chicken you just want it to just cover the bottom.

Just a note about your chicken thighs. Mine had both the skin and bone on – but the boned version will work just as well.

Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Chicken

• I packet chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp runny honey
• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic- grated or finely sliced
• 100-200ml chicken stock

What you do

• In a bowl mix together the honey, mustards and garlic
• Add your chicken and mix well with your clean hands to ensure all the meat is covered
• Pour just enough hot stock into your slow cooker so that the bottom is just covered
• Add the chicken and any of the honey mustard sauce left in the bowl
• Lid on. Cook on low for 6-8 hours
• Spoon over the ‘pan’ juices when serving
