This Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is a simple yet delicious dish with tender chicken simmered in a sweet and savory garlic sauce. Add the ingredients to your slow cooker, let it do the work, and enjoy a flavorful meal with minimal effort. Perfect with rice or noodles.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs (See Note 1)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (See Note 2)
• 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated (See Note 2)
• 8 tbsp dark soy sauce (See Note 3)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, See Note 4)
• 4 tbsp honey (runny or set)
• 4 tbsp tomato ketchup
• ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients except cornflour to the slow cooker. Stir well.
2. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for at least 6 hours.
3. Once the chicken is tender, remove a few tablespoons of liquid and mix with the cornflour in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
4. Pour the cornflour mixture back into the slow cooker and shred the chicken using two forks. Stir well to distribute the sauce evenly.
5. If the sauce doesn’t thicken immediately, leave the slow cooker on HIGH for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Serve garnished with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results:

1. Sear the Chicken First – For extra flavor, lightly brown the chicken in a pan before adding it to the slow cooker.
2. Adjust the Sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the honey slightly or add a splash of rice vinegar.
3. Thicken the Sauce Properly – Mix the cornflour with cold liquid before adding it to prevent lumps. If the sauce is too thin, let it cook uncovered for 10 more minutes.

Conclusion:

this Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is a quick and tasty dish with tender chicken in a flavorful sweet and savory sauce. It’s easy to make, requires minimal effort, and pairs perfectly with rice or noodles.
