Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker and pour the honey garlic sauce over them, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour this into the sauce in the slow cooker and stir well.
  • Turn the slow cooker to high and let the sauce thicken for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the slow cooker, mixing it with the thickened sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
