How to Make Vintage Pantry Thighs Step by Step

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Heat olive oil in a skillet and brown each thigh for three minutes per side before transferring them to the slow cooker.
  2. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, chopped onion, and minced garlic around the chicken, creating an even layer that will cook uniformly throughout the day.
  3. Whisk together the chicken broth and tomato paste until smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over everything inside the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for seven to eight hours or HIGH for four to five hours until the chicken becomes fork-tender and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.
  5. Carefully remove the chicken and whisk the cornstarch slurry into the cooking liquid. Cook for another fifteen minutes until the sauce thickens into a silky gravy.
  6. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and spoon the rich gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving Vintage Pantry Thighs warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
