Description
An easy, flavorful slow-cooked chicken dish that combines sweet honey, savory garlic, and tender chicken thighs for a delicious family meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs (Chicken thighs stay juicy and are forgiving for cooking mistakes.)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (Fresh garlic is preferred.)
- 1/3 cup honey (Provides sweetness and a glossy finish to the sauce.)
- 1/2 cup low sodium ketchup (Can be substituted with tomato sauce plus a teaspoon of brown sugar.)
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce (Can be used regular soy sauce, but avoid extra salt.)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (Chopped for flavor.)
- 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (Optional, for garnish.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Arrange chicken thighs on the bottom of your slow cooker; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oregano, and parsley; whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs. Close with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 hours on LOW, or 3 to 4 hours on HIGH.
- Remove lid and transfer chicken to a serving plate.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve.
Notes
Cool leftovers before storing. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently and consider reducing the sauce if it thins out after storage. Trim excess fat from chicken thighs if desired.
