Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
Description
This recipe brings together six ingredients to create a slow-cooked chicken dish where skin-on, bone-in thighs absorb a balanced sauce blending soy sauce’s saltiness, ketchup’s mild acidity, honey’s sweetness, and a pronounced garlic flavor. Cooking in a slow cooker on low heat for 6 to 7 hours allows the chicken to become tender and flavorful.
Once finished, an optional step adds crispness by broiling the chicken briefly on a lined baking sheet to brown the skin. This step enhances texture contrast between the tender meat and crispy skin.
Designed for simplicity and flavor, this dish suits a casual meal and pairs with rice or vegetables. It requires minimal active time with ingredients combined and slow-cooked until done.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce lite
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 6 chicken thighs , bone in skin on
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients together in the slow cooker until well mixed.
- Lay the chicken skin side up in a single layer and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
- If your chicken isn't browned on the top you can put it on a foil lined cookie sheet under a broiler for 2-3 minutes.
