Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of your Crock Pot and season them with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with the cold water in a small bowl until smooth.

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the cooking liquid in the Crock Pot and mix well.

Turn the Crock Pot to high and allow the sauce to thicken for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9
