Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs is straightforward. Here’s how to make this incredible dish:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease your slow cooker with cooking spray or olive oil for easier cleanup.
2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
3. Add Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker in a single layer, skin side up.
4. Pour the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated well.
5. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
6. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
7. Optional – Thicken Sauce: If you desire a thicker sauce, remove the chicken once cooked. Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to your preferred consistency.
8. Serve: Return the chicken to the sauce and coat them before serving.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
