Ingredients
Scale
- 600g boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 120ml honey
- 80ml soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 60ml ketchup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ketchup, and rice vinegar until well combined.
- Place chicken thighs in an even layer in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 240 to 300 minutes or high for 150 to 180 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside on a cutting board.
- Create a slurry by stirring cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Add this to the sauce remaining in the slow cooker, stirring well. Switch to high and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken, then return it to the thickened sauce, mixing to coat well.
- Enjoy hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
