– 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Now, let’s dive into the easy steps for preparing Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken. Follow these straightforward instructions to create your own delicious dish:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Pour the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken, ensuring every piece is coated evenly.
4. Set the Crockpot: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Cooking it slowly allows for the flavors to meld beautifully.
5. Thicken the Sauce (optional): If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl. About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, stir the mixture into the crockpot and let it thicken.
6. Check for Doneness: Always ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.
7. Serve: Once done, shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it with the sauce.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired for an extra pop of flavor.

By following these simple steps, you will achieve a dish that is incredibly flavorful and comforting, one that will make you proud to serve at any mealtime.
