For the Chicken

  • 1/2 cup Honey Adjust quantity for desired sweetness or substitute with brown sugar or maple syrup.
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup Acts as a base for the sauce; can be replaced with tomato sauce.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium for a lighter version.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Feel free to use fresh oregano as a substitution.
For Garnishing
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Feel free to swap with cilantro based on your taste.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the minced garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and dried oregano until well combined.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken thighs in the crockpot, coating each piece thoroughly.
  4. Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4 to 6 hours, or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours.
  5. If you desire a thicker sauce, remove chicken from crockpot once cooked and simmer the sauce in a saucepan for 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Plate the chicken thighs, drizzle with thickened sauce, and garnish with parsley and sesame seeds.
