Crock Pot sweet garlic chicken is a delectable dish that infuses tender chicken with a mouthwatering blend of sweet and savory flavors. Slow-cooked to perfection, the chicken becomes infused with a rich sauce made from garlic, honey, soy sauce, and a hint of ginger, creating a delightful glaze that caramelizes beautifully. This easy, hands-off recipe results in succulent, juicy chicken that practically falls apart with a fork, making it perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings. Serve it over rice or alongside steamed vegetables for a comforting meal that’s sure to satisfy and impress.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Place the chicken thighs in the crock pot and pour the sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the slurry into the sauce in the crock pot and cover to cook until thickened.
  5. Once done, remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it with two forks, then return it to the sauce and stir to combine.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions over rice or noodles.
