Instructions
- Lightly coat your slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken thighs on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl combine soy sauce, ketchup, garlic and honey.
- Pour mixture over chicken. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
- In a cup or small bowl combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water together. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved.
- Add to slow cooker and gently stir. Cover and leave chicken mixture to thicken for 5 or 10 minutes. Serve.
- Optionally you can transfer the thighs to a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes to add a caramelized finish whether chicken thighs have skin on or not while the sauce is thickening in the slow cooker.
- Serve chicken thighs hot, with extra sauce drizzled on top for added flavor, if desired. We love this chicken dish served over rice. Serving with extra sauce allows everyone to add more if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cook Slowly. It's best to cook the chicken thighs in your slow cooker on low heat. This allows the chicken thighs to cook slowly and absorb the flavors over several hours for best results.
- Broiling After. You may want to broil skin-on chicken for a couple minutes after it's cooked in the slow cooler to crisp the skin. You can also broil the skinless chicken if you want the sauce to caramelize a bit more.
- Make Enough for Leftovers. Cook some extra chicken and shred it in some of the sauce so use in a wrap, bun or on a salad later in the week. A great time-saver!
- Avoid Overcooking. Be sure to check the chicken for doneness at the earliest suggested time. Chicken thighs are done when they register an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). In general this should take 2-3 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low.
- Adjusting the Sauce. Add more lemon juice or vinegar if you prefer a less sweet sauce. If you want it sweeter, add more honey.
