An easy and delicious Crock Pot chicken.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A fantastic slow cooker meal your family will love. Use the cut of chicken you'd like. We opted for boneless and skinless chicken thighs. The chicken cooks in a sauce made of soy sauce, honey, ketchup, and seasonings. It's sweet and savory. Initially, the sauce is thin, so we suggest using the corn starch mixture if you prefer a thicker sauce. Delicious served over rice with a vegetable on the side.

How To Make crock pot honey chicken and rice

Test Kitchen Tips
We used boneless skinless chicken thighs. With honey in this, it will burn around the edges. To avoid this using a liner will help or stir around the edges every hour.
  • Place chicken in the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
    1
    Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Put it into the Crock Pot.
  • Combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic, and pepper flakes.

    In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic, and pepper flakes.
  • Pour over the chicken.
