Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken

Ingredients

• 700g Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
• Salt
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 80ml Honey
• 60ml Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
• 1 tablespoon Cornflour
• 2 tablespoons Cold Water
• 2 Spring Onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly brown the chicken on both sides for about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the garlic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and dried thyme until well combined.
4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and gently turn the pieces to coat evenly.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
6. Remove the chicken and keep warm. Whisk together the cornflour and cold water, then stir the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker.
7. Cover and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and coat it thoroughly in the glossy honey garlic sauce.
9. Garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds before serving.
