This Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs recipe delivers tender, juicy chicken in a rich, flavorful sauce made with honey, soy sauce, and garlic. It's a perfect weeknight meal that's both easy to prepare and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 2 to 2.5 lbs (900g–1.1kg) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• ½ cup (120ml) low-sodium soy sauce

• ½ cup (120ml) honey

• ¼ cup (60ml) ketchup

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon (5g) ground ginger

• 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

• 1 tablespoon (15ml) water (for cornstarch slurry)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

• Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and ground ginger.

3. Combine in Crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.

4. Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours or on High for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

5. Optional Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir the slurry into the sauce and continue cooking.

6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables.
