Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. If desired, remove chicken and shred or slice. Whisk cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for another 15-20 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Return chicken to the pot and stir to coat.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if using.

Notes

  • For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust honey and soy sauce ratios to your preference for sweetness and saltiness.
  • This recipe works well with chicken breasts or thighs. Thighs tend to stay more moist.
