Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless, skin removed)
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the Crock Pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the Crock Pot and set them aside on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the sauce left in the Crock Pot and stir well.
Switch the Crock Pot to high heat and let the sauce thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 5-10 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, pour it over the chicken thighs.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetables.
