Recipe View 8 hrs Combine and Cook (8 hours on low or 4 hours on high): Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker tightly. Cook on the low setting for 8 hours, or on the high setting for 4 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

For extra flavor, consider adding sliced onions and carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker before placing the chicken inside. These will roast alongside the chicken and add depth to the sauce.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the cooked chicken and set it aside. Whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

    I was skeptical about using honey in a savory dish, but it really balances the soy sauce perfectly. My family loved it!

    Next time, I might try adding a little ginger to the sauce for an extra kick.

    The sauce is amazing over rice! I like to add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and some chopped green onions for garnish.
