Inspirational Slow Cooker Honey Teriyaki Chicken
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6), cut
into 1 1/2-inch pieces - 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- For serving: cooked rice, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds,
sliced scallions
INSTRUCTIONS
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a
6-quart or larger slow cooker. Scatter the onion and garlic over the top. Whisk
the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, pepper, and ginger together in a small bowl
and pour over the chicken. - Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 2 to 3 hours or on the
HIGH setting for 1 to 2 hours. The chicken is done when an instant-read
thermometer inserted into the thickest piece registers 165°F. - Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a bowl. Pour
the sauce left in the slow cooker into a small saucepan and bring to a boil
over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile,
whisk the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Once the sauce has
reduced, whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook until thickened, 1
to 2 minutes. - Return the chicken to the slow cooker and pour in enough
sauce to coat the chicken. Reserve any remaining sauce for leftovers. Serve
over cooked rice and garnish with red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and
scallions.
