Instructions

  1. The recipe is designed for a 6 L Crockpot (CP).
  2. Put onion, garlic and ginger in the CP. Mix the cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper to a spice mixture and season the chicken legs with it. Then fry them in hot oil on both sides. Place on the onion mixture (skin side up) and drizzle the gravy from the pan over it. Then sprinkle everything with the raisins. Now crumble the dried chilli directly into the canned tomatoes. Stir briefly and pour evenly over the chicken. Put on the lid.
  3. Cook on high for about 3 1/2 hours.
  4. Rice or couscous is ideal as a side dish.
  5. Tip: If possible, check the cooking process after three hours and, if necessary, switch it down (to medium or even low) - the devices are not standardized and each CP braises differently.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
