an American recipe for the crockpot (slow cooker)

This recipe is designed for a 6-liter crockpot (CP). Add onion, garlic, and ginger to the CP. Mix the cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper into a spice mixture and season the chicken thighs with it. Brown the thighs in hot oil on both sides. Place the thighs on the onion mixture (skin-side up) and drizzle with the pan juices. Sprinkle everything with the raisins. Crumble the dried chili directly into the canned tomatoes. Stir briefly and spread evenly over the chicken. Cover. Cook on “high” for about 3 1/2 hours. Rice or couscous is a good side dish. Tip: Check the cooking process after three hours and reduce the heat to “medium” or even “low” if necessary—there are no standardized appliances, and every CP cooks differently.
