Ingredients

8 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in, fat trimmed off
500 grams potatoes, washed, skin on, cut in large cubes
500 grams carrots, washed, skin on, cut into large pieces
500 grams yard beans, washed, cut into about 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, OR 1/8 teaspoon of Cayenne powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black powder. Mix well, this is the sauce.
Place 4 thighs in your slow cooker, pour one half of the sauce over the chicken. then add the potatoes then the carrots. Place 4 more thighs on top of the carrots, pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low setting for 7-8 hours or High setting for 3-4 hours.
30 minutes before you serve, add the yard beans, cover and cook for another 30 minutes. If you want more crispy chicken, remove chicken at the end of the cooking time and place in your broiler for about 3-4 minutes. Serve, complete meal in your slow cooker.

Notes

Go with chicken quarters for 76 Baht/kilo, you may spend about 140 Baht for 8 quarters, you get larger thighs. cut the quarters yourself, and either freeze the legs for another meal, or give to the Thai family to make their own dish. I will use 90 Baht for the estimate since the legs are not used, just the thighs. For 6 servings, this would be about 45 cents per serving, less for more servings.

The original recipe called for baby red potatoes, I have never seen those where I live, I use the regulation potatoes found in Tesco or the open markets, works just as well.
