Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the sauce by whisking together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the crock pot, spreading them out in an even layer.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and set it aside on a plate. Shred the chicken using two forks if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce remaining in the crock pot, stirring well to combine.
Turn the crock pot to high and cook the sauce for another 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot, stirring to coat it in the thickened sauce.
Serve the hoisin chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Pair with cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
