Tender slow cooker honey garlic chicken thighs are cooked in a sweet and savory garlic sauce, then shredded and coated in a thickened glaze. Perfect served over rice with sesame seeds and green onions.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 6 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Holland House White Cooking Wine
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 and 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, fat trimmed
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp water
  • Rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, garlic, soy sauce, cooking wine, ground ginger, and 1/4 cup water.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them. Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and keep warm.
  4. Whisk the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water together until smooth. Stir into the cooking liquid.
  5. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
  7. Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Warm briefly if needed.
  8. Serve over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • Check the chicken starting at the 2-hour mark to avoid overcooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts may be substituted, but cooking time may vary.
