Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, hoisin sauce (if using), garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Remove chicken and shred or slice as desired.
