Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup honey, preferably raw or organic
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
1/4 cup ketchup
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Sliced green onions for garnish
Sesame seeds, lightly toasted for garnish
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the slow cooker. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
Serve the shredded chicken over rice or noodles, drizzled with extra honey garlic sauce from the slow cooker. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
