Directions
-
Place the thinly sliced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, cinnamon stick, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, ground turmeric, ground cloves, and ground cardamom into the bottom of a 4-quart or larger electric slow cooker.
-
Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry with paper towels; arrange them on top of the spice mixture, allowing pieces to overlap slightly.

Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and spices.
-
Cover the slow cooker and cook on the Low setting for 6 1/2 to 7 hours, or until the meat near the thighbone is very tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Carefully lift the cooked chicken pieces out of the slow cooker and transfer them to a warm serving dish; cover loosely to keep warm.
-
Skim and discard any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, then remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
-
In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch with cold water until smooth; stir this mixture into the hot cooking liquid in the slow cooker.
-
Increase the slow cooker setting to High; cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
-
Taste the sauce and season with salt as needed.
-
Stir in the lightly packed cilantro leaves and sliced green onions.
-
Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken in the serving dish and serve immediately.
