Boneless chicken thighs cook gently in the slow cooker until fall-apart tender, soaking up a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. A quick cornstarch slurry at the end thickens everything into a glossy glaze that clings to rice or noodles. It's a low-effort weeknight dinner that mostly cooks itself.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Method

  1. Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and arrange them in a single layer in the slow cooker.

  3. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken thighs, turning to coat.

  4. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  5. Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and whisk the cornstarch and cold water into the sauce remaining in the slow cooker.

  6. Cover and cook on high until the sauce thickens into a glaze.

  7. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and spoon the glaze over the top to coat.

  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
