Slow Cooker Honey Soy Chicken

3. Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shreddable.

4. Thicken the Sauce (Optional)

If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken once cooked. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then stir into the sauce in the slow cooker. Turn to high heat and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until thickened.

5. Serve and Garnish

Serve the chicken over steamed rice or noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavor and crunch.

Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Honey Soy Chicken

• Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat. Breasts work too but can dry out more easily.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas in the last hour of cooking for a one-pot meal.
• For a little extra zing, drizzle some lime juice over the dish just before serving.
• Leftovers make great sandwiches, salads, or wraps the next day.
