INGREDIENTS

1½ pounds chicken thigh
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 green onions thinly sliced, for garnishing (optional)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds for garnishing (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic to the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir until well combined. Add the chicken thigh, stir to coat, then cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Shred with 2 forks and set aside.
Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce. Switch the slow cooker to high and allow the sauce to simmer, with the lid removed, until thickened. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir until the chicken is well combined with the sauce.
