Instructions


1.

In a slow cooker, combine honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk together.

2.

Add the chicken pieces to the slow cooker and stir to coat them evenly with the sauce.

3.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

4.

If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir well and let it thicken.

5.

Serve the Honey Sesame Chicken over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
