  • 4 boneless chicken thighs

  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated or ground
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Equipment

  • Crockpot or slow cooker
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Place boneless chicken thighs in an even layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring every piece is well coated.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  5. Serve over steamed rice and spoon the sauce generously over the top.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, transfer the cooking liquid to a small saucepan after cooking and simmer with 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water for 2 to 3 minutes. For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
