Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Substitute with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken
  1. Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season the thighs lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In your slow cooker, mix together the honey, soy sauce, and freshly minced garlic until well combined. Nestle the chicken thighs into the sauce, ensuring they're fully coated.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  4. About 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir this into the sauce to thicken it.
  5. Once cooking is complete, stir the sauce and serve the chicken hot over fluffy steamed rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before cooking for better sauce adhesion. Adjust cooking time for frozen chicken and use uniformly sized pieces for even cooking.
