Instructions
- Layer the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Notes
Use half chicken breasts and half thighs for moister results. For a spicier profile, use smoky chipotle barbecue sauce or add smoked paprika and cayenne. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
