Method

Cooking Steps

Start by placing the chicken in the crockpot.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken.
Season everything with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
Serve hot, and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

For extra tenderness, allow the chicken to marinate in the honey-soy mixture for an hour before cooking. If you want a bit of spice, consider adding some red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F for safety. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
