Honey Hoisin Chicken
Servings 4 people
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in the center of your slow cooker.
- Pour the rest of the ingredients on top of the chicken.
- Cook covered on low for 4 to 5 hours.
- About a 1/2 hour before you want to serve, shred the chicken and mix it together with the sauce.
- Let it cook for the last 1/2 hour on high, this will carmelize the edges and create a wonderful flavor and texture.
- Serve over sticky white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
Notes
We like to top ours with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, or sriracha sauce. We also like to top this with crispy onions, like the kind you put on green bean casserole.
Serve over rice or quinoa and add a green veggie on the side like roasted broccoli or garlic green beans.
I've tried making this recipe in the Instant Pot and it never turned out as well. It carmelizes in the slow cooker which is what makes this recipe so good!
