Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
2 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
3 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
cooked white rice, for serving (optional)
Can be omitted
cooked white rice

Instructions

1
Season the chicken thighs all over with the salt and pepper, then arrange them in a single layer in the slow cooker insert.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
