Honey Garlic Chicken Ingredients:

Boneless Chicken Thighs: I prefer chicken thighs over breasts but chicken breasts can be used in this recipe. Chicken thighs are a soft and tender meat with a little more fat on them making them juicy too. Honey: Choose the honey that you prefer but this will help sweeten chicken while it is slow cooking. Soy Sauce: Light soy sauce is just what you need to make this slow cooker chicken infused with. Hoisin Sauce: Thick and strong flavoring, this hoisin sauce will be the perfect amount of sauce to cover the chicken and marinate while it is slowly being cooked. Garlic: Crushed the best that you can or purchase the garlic crushed in a bag. Ginger Root: Fresh is best with the ginger. Sesame Oil: This has a nutty oil that adds just the right touch to combined the flavorings together. Cornstarch: Make a roux or thick sauce with the cornstarch and water mixture. Water: Luke warm water is perfect for creating a roux and adding it back into the sauce to cover the chicken at the end.

The Recipe Critic Pro Tip:

Boneless skinless chicken thighs work best in a slow cooker since dark meat can be more forgiving when cooking for a long period of time. Thighs also don’t dry out as easily. If you prefer chicken breasts make sure to check it towards the end to make sure it is not overcooked and dried out.

Vegetables: Try stir frying vegetables, asparagus or mashing potatoes for a side dish. Even make it simple by using microwave vegetables or frozen vegetables to help complete the meal quicker. Rice: I love rice and the ease of using my rice cooker when preparing a meal. Fried rice, cauliflower rice or white rice is always a favorite in our family. The honey garlic sauce drizzled overtop the rice and chicken adds so much flavor and deliciousness to this meal. Salad: Since this is an asian meal I like to add in asian inspired salads such as broccoli ramen salad, asian edamame ramen salad or asian kale ginger peanut salad.
