  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 27 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 cup honey
– ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
– Green onions, sliced (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is as simple as following these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper until combined.
3. Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
4. Set the Cooker: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
5. Check for Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check the chicken for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
6. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.
7. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce.
8. Garnish and Serve: Serve the Chicken garnished with sliced green onions.

By following these steps, you will easily create a delicious and memorable dish that your whole family will appreciate!
