Is it safe to put the honey barbecue sauce on the raw chicken?

Yes, you are using the sauce as a marinade to cook the chicken in. You will discard this sauce from the crockpot and glaze the thighs will reserved sauce that hasn't been touched by raw chicken.

What can I serve with these?

I personally love to eat these with Fried Rice. Another great option is Hasselback Potatoes or Crispy Smashed Potatoes!

Ooo! How about some Cream Cheese Jalapeรฑo Poppers! Or even these Crispy Potato Wedges!

How to reheat and store.

You can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer at 370-ish degrees for about 4 minutes.
