I love all the flavors in this dish. It is also great that it goes in the slow cooker in the morning and cooks all day.

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pounds - bone-in chicken thighs skins removed
- 1 - medium yellow onion peeled and sliced
- 3 cloves - garlic minced
- 1 teaspoons - chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoons - sea salt
- 1 tablespoons - ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoons - coriander
- 1/2 teaspoons - cinnamon

Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Then add half of the chicken to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, browning on all sides.
Transfer chicken to a slow cooker and repeat with remaining chicken.
Return the pot to the stove and add onion and garlic; saute for 3 minutes or until tender. Add the ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
