Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large crock pot, pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, chopped garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and water. Mix thoroughly until sugar dissolves.
  2. Carefully place the chicken thighs or breasts into the sauce, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Turn the chicken gently to absorb flavors.
  3. Cover your crock pot and set it to cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Keep an eye on it as the aroma fills your kitchen.
  4. Once cooking time is up, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and broil for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Plate the chicken attractively, drizzling any remaining sauce over it. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley.
