A flavorful and comforting dish featuring tender chicken thighs in a sweet and savory sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • ⅓ cup Soy Sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Ginger (minced, optional)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 Green Onions (chopped, for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  3. Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 240-360 minutes, or on high for 120-180 minutes. The chicken should be fork-tender.
  5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks or serve whole. Top with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken pieces are arranged in a single layer for even cooking. Adjust sweetness based on preference.
