Yummy Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken Recipe

This homemade jerk chicken literally takes only 20 minutes to get ready to cook and the rest of the effort is done by your slow cooker!

Imagine jerk chicken with only 20 minutes of prep time! Once you get this one ready, you just put it in the crock pot and let it cook for about four hours. That’s plenty of time to do other things – like laundry or maybe preparing some tasty side dishes to go along with your chicken.

This roasted mushroom recipe will pair perfectly with your chicken dish, and it’s one that your entire family will love.

I love quick and easy meals that take me little prep time so this one was instantly a hit with me. The flavor makes it a hit with my family, as well. Jerk chicken is such a culinary treat and it honestly could not be simpler to make.

If you have 20 minutes, you can serve this to your family tonight, and it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients, either. You just need chicken, onion, jalapeno, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and a few spices to make it. And the slow cooker recipe gives you plenty of time to prepare this almond cheesecake for dessert.

Start with chicken drumsticks or any of your favorite chicken pieces.

Prepare jerk sauce to pour over the chicken.

Add chicken covered in sauce to a crock pot.

Cover and cook for four hours on low or until done.

Serve with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
