Ingredients

Scale

6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup honey
2 tbsp brown sugar
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

Instructions

Place the chicken thighs into the slow cooker basin.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken until evenly coated.
Cook on high heat for 3 hours or low heat for 5 hours until the chicken is tender.
Transfer the chicken pieces to a baking sheet.
Whisk the cornstarch and water together and stir the slurry into the slow cooker juices, heating until thickened.
Broil the chicken pieces for 3-5 minutes until the edges are caramelized and sticky.
Serve the chicken drizzled with the thickened glaze.

Notes

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You can garnish with toasted sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
