Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2-2 ½ lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup soy sauce use low sodium if desired
- 1 ½ Tbsp sriracha
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- black pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp corn starch
- 2 Tbsp cold water
To Serve (Optional)
- cooked rice
- sesame seeds
- sliced green onion
Instructions
- To your slow cooker, add chicken, honey, soy sauce, sriracha, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper. Stir to combine and coat the chicken.
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for roughly 3 - 3 ½ hours, or until chicken can easily pull apart with a fork.
- Remove chicken from your slow cooker, and transfer to a large bowl or cutting board. Meanwhile, whisk corn starch and water together in a small bowl until dissolved and completely clump-free. Pour into slow cooker and stir with the sauce.
- Gently break up the chicken with a fork, and stir back into the slow cooker. You’re aiming for bite-sized pieces of chicken with some chunks, not fully shredded chicken. Close the lid and cook for another 30 minutes on high, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve over rice with veggies of choice. Top with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and other condiments as desired. Enjoy!
