Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

This Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken recipe uses boneless chicken thighs cooked slowly in a sweet and tangy sauce made with soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper. The chicken becomes tender enough to shred, and the cooking liquid is thickened into a rich teriyaki glaze with cornstarch and water. Served over cooked rice, this dish offers a flavorful meal that requires minimal hands-on cooking time while delivering tender meat and a balanced sauce that complements the chicken well.
