Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Assemble in the Slow Cooker:

    • Place the chicken thighs or breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  3. Cook:

    • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. Thicken the Sauce:

    • About 15 minutes before serving, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and keep warm.
    • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker.
    • Cover and let the sauce thicken for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Serve:

    • Return the chicken to the slow cooker to coat it in the thickened sauce.
    • Serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Add vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or snap peas to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking for a complete meal.
