Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • ½ tbsp sesame seeds

  2. Step: Spray the crockpot insert with nonstick spray.
  3. Step: Arrange the chicken in an even layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Step: Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
  5. Step: Cover and cook the chicken on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  6. Step: Remove the cooked chicken and set it aside.
  7. Step: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water together. Stir this into the sauce in the crockpot, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Notes

Chicken thighs are recommended for optimal tenderness. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a splash of water to keep the chicken moist.
