Notes
- The sauce makes the perfect ginger chicken marinade! Allow the chicken thighs to marinate in the refrigerator overnight to infuse more flavor and to help with preparation.
- Store leftover ginger garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try using a bone-in chicken to add even more depth and richness to this slow-cooker ginger chicken. Just be sure to extend the cooking time and use a thermometer to check for doneness.
