Slow Cooker Chicken Carnitas
- 4 bone in skin on chicken thighs
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 lime
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds if you have only powder on hand, then use only 1 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano *note: I explain in detail on my posole post why Mexican oregano is important, but you may use "regular" oregano if it is what you have on hand
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne peper
- tortillas Taco-size
- In a slowcooker, place the chicken thighs, onion, citrus juices, and spices and cook on low for 8 hours.
- After the cooking time has completed, the chicken should be tender and fall off the bone easily. Remove the chicken, shred the meat, and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil under high until crispy.
- Make tacos. Super easy!
