Both bone-in and boneless chicken thighs will work here. If you opt for bone-in, add an extra ¼-pound of chicken to compensate for the weight of the bone.

Give It Time

Cooking the chicken slowly in the flavorful juices will result in a fall-apart tenderness. The more time the chicken has to stew in all those incredible juices undisturbed, the better!

It may be tempting to pop the lid off to check it, but resist the urge. Letting out the steam means letting out a ton of moisture that would otherwise end up in your chicken.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Shred chicken with two forks. Two forks pulled in opposite directions is the perfect way to easily shred this chicken. Because it’s so tender, it will easily pull apart. You can do it right in the slow cooker if you’d like!
• Build a bed of rice. Cauliflower rice is the perfect bed for this coconut curry chicken. The mild flavor and slight crunch of cauliflower rice are a delicious accompaniment to the savory curry sauce.
