Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water.
Place the chicken thighs in the crock pot in a single layer.
Pour the prepared soy ginger sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot and set it aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the crock pot and stir well. Cover and cook on high heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
