Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for the slurry
  • 2 tbsp water for the slurry
  • green onions, sliced for serving
  • sesame seeds for serving

Instructions

  • Combine the sauce: In the crockpot, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ketchup, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using.
  • Add the chicken: Place the chicken thighs into the crockpot and turn to coat in the sauce.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  • Thicken the sauce: Remove the chicken to a plate. Whisk the cornstarch and water together, then stir into the sauce in the crockpot. Cook on high, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Finish: Shred or slice the chicken, return it to the thickened sauce, and toss to coat. Serve over rice, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
