Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 bone-in or boneless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos for a healthier option
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Thighs: Pat the chicken thighs dry and lightly season with salt and pepper. Marinate if desired.
- Mix the Sauce: Whisk honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and ginger in a small bowl to make the sauce.
- Cook in the Crockpot: Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot, pour the sauce over, cover, and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 hours until tender.
- Finish and Serve: Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Optional: simmer sauce uncovered on high for 10-15 minutes to thicken, then pour over chicken. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken beforehand adds extra flavor but is not necessary.
- Thicken the sauce by simmering uncovered in the crockpot if desired.
- Serve with rice, steamed vegetables, or salads for a complete meal.
