Follow these straightforward steps to prepare Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs effortlessly:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. Arrange Chicken Thighs: Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker. Ensure they’re arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
3. Pour the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is coated. If needed, flip the thighs to ensure both sides get the sauce.
4. Cover and Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low for 4-6 hours, or high for 2-3 hours. Cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
5. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Shred or Leave Whole: Once cooked, you can leave the thighs whole or shred the meat for easier serving.
7. Adjust Sauce Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer on the stove until it reduces and thickens slightly.
8. Serve with Garnishes: Before serving, sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken for added flavor and presentation.
