Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
  • 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  4. Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Mix cornstarch with water, stir into the remaining sauce, switch heat to high, and let it thicken for about 10 minutes.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, ensuring it's well-coated with the thickened sauce. Serve hot, garnished with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or fresh lettuce wraps for an interactive dining experience.
