Reduce the sauce

  • If you have a sear and stew slow cooker you can take the pot to your stove. If you can't put your slow cooker pot on the stove then put the sauce into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Keep boiling until it has reduced by half.
  • Pour the reduced sauce over the chicken thighs garnish with 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley, if liked. And serve with new potatoes and vegetables or potato wedges and salad.
