- Place chicken in slow cooker. Pour sauce over the chicken.
- Cover and cook for 6 hours on high.

Cup of Yum
FROM FROZEN:
- Empty contents from freezer bag into a crock pot and cook 6 hours on high.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with rice or butter noodles.
Notes
- Use a gentle touch when removing the chicken thighs from the crockpot. This allows each piece of chicken to stay beautifully intact when serving.
- Make your thighs look extra pretty by broiling them for a couple minutes right before serving.
