Ingredients
  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Hawaiian Sea Salt or Regular Sea Salt
Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the chicken thighs. Poke holes in the chicken. The liquid smoke can absorb easily into the meat, ensuring the chicken will be flavorful.

  2. Rub Hawaiian Sea Salt all over the chicken thighs. Adjust salt amount based on your preference. If you do not have Hawaiian Sea Salt, you can substitute it for regular sea salt or table salt. Then rub the liquid smoke on the chicken.

  3. Add 1/2 cup of water into the Crock Pot or slow cooker. Next, add the chicken into the slow cooker.

  4. Cook on high for 6 hours. Flip the chicken to prevent from drying. If you will be away from home when cooking, this step is optional. 

  5. After 6 hours, turn off the Crock Pot. Shred the chicken and serve with a side of rice
