  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Place the 2 lbs of chicken thighs in the crockpot, arranging them evenly at the bottom.
  2. Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 4 minced garlic cloves until well combined.
  3. Add Sauce to Chicken: Pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the honey garlic chicken hot along with steamed vegetables or your preferred side dish.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for easier eating and faster cooking.
  • For a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken after cooking and simmer the sauce on stovetop to reduce.
  • Substitute soy sauce with tamari for gluten-free version.
  • Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give a subtle spicy kick.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and taste great reheated.
