Slow-Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

This tender, flavorful honey garlic chicken is a breeze to prepare, making it the perfect dinner for busy weeknights or a comforting family meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken thighs or breasts in the slow cooker in a single layer.

  2. Make the Sauce:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

  3. Cook in the Slow Cooker:

    • Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  4. Thicken the Sauce:

    • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and set aside.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

  5. Combine and Garnish:

    • Return the chicken to the slow cooker and toss to coat in the sauce.
    • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve over steamed rice or quinoa.
  • Pair with sautéed or roasted vegetables like broccoli, green beans, or snap peas.
  • Use leftovers for sandwiches, wraps, or salads.

Tips for Success:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 1-2 hours before cooking.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best results.
  • Adjust the sweetness and saltiness by tweaking the honey and soy sauce ratio.

Enjoy this sweet and savory dish that’s as simple as it is delicious! 🍯🧄🍗
