Slow-Cooker Spicy Red Pepper Chicken
This chicken has all the flavors of piri piri chicken, a Portuguese dish that usually marinates in a seasoned bell pepper sauce for hours before being grilled. Our take braises in a slow cooker first, then hits the broiler to get a little char.

Tip
Slow cookers get their magic from utilizing trapped hot air to cook what's inside. Opening the lid releases heat and moisture and, ultimately, slows the cooking process down. Each time you lift the lid, it can take the slow cooker up to 30 minutes to return to temperature—so no peeking!
