Ingredients
2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 teaspoon Thai sweet red chili sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
2 1/12 tablespoons corn starch + 3 tablespoons cold water
Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)
Sesame seeds, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Add chicken to bottom of crockpot.
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, balsamic glaze, Thai sweet red chili sauce, sesame oil, garlic and onion. Pour sauce over chicken, cover with lid and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or high for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- To thicken sauce, whisk together corn starch and water in a small bowl and stir into slow cooker. Turn heat to high and allow sauce to cook and thicken for 15 - 20 minutes.
- Serve hot with sauce over cooked rice or noodles. Sprinkle with green onions, if desired
Notes
*Use low sodium soy sauce if possible.
Due to the lower heating element in older slow cookers, the sauce may not thicken in the slow cooker. If that is the case, spoon out all the sauce from the slow cooker into a small saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat until it thickens up. Pour sauce over chicken and stir to combine.
