Tender, juicy chicken thighs bathed in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic glaze, effortlessly cooked in a crock pot for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless, skin-on or skinless)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil (optional), and water. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  2. Place chicken thighs in the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  3. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is coated.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  5. If you prefer a thicker glaze, remove the chicken and transfer the sauce to a small saucepan. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then whisk into the sauce. Heat over medium heat until thickened.
  6. Return the chicken to the crock pot and pour the thickened sauce over it, or serve directly with the sauce on the side.

Notes

[‘Use bone-in chicken thighs for extra flavor and juiciness.’, ‘Fresh garlic is essential for bold flavor; avoid substituting with garlic powder.’, ‘Broil chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes after cooking for a crispy finish.’, ‘Adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the sauce to suit your taste.’]
