5-ingredient Mississippi chicken

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs, ranch dressing mix and gravy mix.

Mix by hand to make sure the seasoning fully coats the chicken.

2. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Put the butter on top of the chicken and surround with pepperoncini peppers.

4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high power for 4 hours, or low power for 6-7 hours for an all-day cooked taste.

5. When it’s ready, carefully shred the chicken inside the slow cooker and serve buffet-style directly onto people’s plates.

Garnish with your favorite hot sauce and serve alongside fresh cooked rice, pasta or potatoes.

Pro-tip: For a reduced-sodium version, use only half of the gravy and ranch seasoning packets.

Pro-tip: Chop the pepperonicini into rings before placing them in the slow cooker for a stronger brine flavor in the chicken.
