No reviews

This slow‑cooker honey‑garlic chicken brings restaurant‑quality flavor to your weeknight table with almost no effort. Simply combine boneless chicken thighs with local wildflower honey, freshly smashed garlic, a splash of tamari (or soy sauce), and a pinch of red pepper flakes, then let the cooker work its magic.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

6 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot’s base. In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and dried oregano until smooth and well blended.
  2. Pour this fragrant honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure every piece is nicely coated.
  3. Cover the crockpot and let the chicken slow-cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until it’s tender enough to shred effortlessly with a fork.
  4. For a luscious glaze, carefully remove the chicken once cooked and transfer the sauce to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Drizzle this glossy glaze back over the chicken just before serving.
  5. Finish by plating the chicken and sprinkling fresh parsley and toasted sesame seeds on top for a pop of color and texture. This pairs beautifully with steamed rice, noodles, or sautéed veggies.
