Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Add Chicken: Place chicken thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spread out. Pour the honey garlic mixture over them, making sure to coat the chicken thoroughly.
- Set the Cooker: Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Shred and Mix: Once done, remove the chicken thighs from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir it back into the sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a fresh touch.
Notes
Bone-in chicken thighs provide a richer flavor, while boneless thighs are quicker to cook. For a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce.
