Ingredients

• 2 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sauce by whisking together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl.

Step 2

Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the crock pot, spreading them out in an even layer.

Step 3

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and set it aside on a plate. Shred the chicken using two forks if desired.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce remaining in the crock pot, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

Turn the crock pot to high and cook the sauce for another 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency.

Step 8

Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot, stirring to coat it in the thickened sauce.

Step 9

Serve the hoisin chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Pair with cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
