Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.25 cups ketchup
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoons ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar until combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot and set aside on a serving plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the crock pot sauce and stir well to thicken the sauce. Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes on high heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
Return the chicken to the crock pot, spoon the sauce over the top, and let it sit on warm for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables, and enjoy!
