A rich and flavorful slow cooker chicken dish that’s effortless to prepare and loved by the whole family.


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs or breasts

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 240 minutes or high for 120 minutes until chicken is tender.
  5. Shred the chicken with two forks, allowing it to soak up the remaining sauce.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours or overnight. Adjust the sweetness by modifying the brown sugar. Leftovers can be stored for up to three days in an airtight container.
