Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

For the sauce

½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup honey
3 tbsp rice vinegar
Chef's tip
For each tablespoon of rice vinegar, use 2 tsp white wine vinegar plus 1 tsp water. Choose an unseasoned vinegar.
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp sesame oil

For the glaze

2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tbsp sesame seeds
3 green onions, thinly sliced
cooked white rice, for serving
Chef's tip
Use cooked cauliflower rice 1:1 in place of cooked rice; sauté it briefly so it stays fluffy, not wet.

Instructions

1
In the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until the honey is fully dissolved.
2
Add the chicken thighs to the slow cooker and turn to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours or on High for 2 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender throughout.
