Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Chicken Legs or Thighs
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • ¼ cup Water
  • ½ cup Honey
  • ⅓ cup Soy Sauce, low sodium
  • 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 4 - 5 lg Garlic Cloves, pressed or finely minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Onion, finely minced
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

To Thicken (whisk together)

  • 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
  • 3 Tablespoons Cold Water

To Serve

  • 4 cups Cooked Rice
  • Sesame Seeds for Garnish
  • Chopped Scallions for Garnish

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of the crock. Turn on to Low setting.

  2. Salt and pepper all sides of the chicken.

  3. Add the water to the crock, then place the chicken in there as well. Place the lid on so it starts warming up.

  4. In a 2 cup measuring cup, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, ginger, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the chicken.

  5. Cook on Low for 2-4 hours (check after 2 hours). Cook time may vary, due to size of chicken, and/or your brand of slow cooker.

  6. Remove chicken to a plate and lightly cover. Turn the slow cooker to High setting.

  7. Whisk together the corn starch and cold water. Add to the liquid in the crock and stir.

  8. Add the chicken back into the crock and cook on High until thickened (usually 10 to 15 minutes) and chicken has an internal temperature of 165° F.

  9. Serve over cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds, scallions, and/or cilantro.
