Crockpot honey garlic chicken is a flavorful and tender dish that’s easy to prepare. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (you can use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred)
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions:
- Place the chicken thighs or breasts in the crockpot or slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook the chicken on low heat for 4-6 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours. The chicken is done when it’s tender and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crockpot and place it on a serving platter or plate. Cover it with foil to keep it warm.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
- Pour the liquid from the crockpot into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish the honey garlic chicken with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
- Serve the honey garlic chicken hot over cooked rice or noodles.
