Ingredients

– 1 cup honey
– ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
– ¼ cup rice vinegar
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic

– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– ¼ cup cornstarch
– ¼ cup water
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
– 3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.

2. Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.

3. Combine: Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.

4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

5. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

6. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the remaining sauce in the slow cooker to thicken it. Cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes.

7. Return Chicken: Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker, stirring well to combine it with the thickened sauce.

8. Serve: Prepare to serve topped with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
