Question 1

Why does this recipe specify chicken thighs?

Accepted Answer

Chicken thighs are recommended in slow-cooked dishes for their rich flavor, tender texture, and ability to remain moist and forgiving during the longer cooking process.

You could also use chicken breasts if that's what you have on-hand.

Question 2

Can I make more than four thighs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, simply double the recipe, and use 6-8 chicken thighs. You can just hit the 2x on the recipe card and it'll do the math for you. Make sure to use a large enough Crock-pot too.

Question 3

Can I use brown rice instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can substitute other types of rice, but keep in mind, this will affect the cooking time and liquid ratio.

Brown rice requires more cooking time and liquid compared to white rice. So you'll need to extend the cooking time by an additional 30 minutes to an hour and increase the liquid by about ¼ to ½ cup.
