Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts Use either thighs or breasts based on preference.
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use low-sodium for a healthier option if desired.
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Serving Suggestions
  • Cooked rice or fresh vegetables For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your slow cooker, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful sauce.
  2. Add the chicken to the slow cooker, making sure to coat it evenly with the sauce for optimal flavor.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
  4. Serve the honey chicken over cooked rice or alongside fresh vegetables, allowing the sauce to drench the sides.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. This dish also freezes well for easy thawing. For a thicker sauce, simmer the sauce in a saucepan after cooking the chicken.
