Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 335kcal
Equipment
- Slow Cooker 6 hours on low for this one, so it wants a cooker you can start and walk away from.
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
- cooked rice 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 (165°F) 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.
