I stand by my philosophy that slow cookers are a year round thing and not just for the cozy winter soup months. This Slow Cooker Honey Ginger Chicken has a simple, delicious sauce that you can make ahead of time and is a quick and healthy weeknight dinner that you will come back to time and time again. If you don’t have a crockpot or are looking for a new one, I use this one and it’s tried and true.
Step By Step
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, ginger and garlic.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the sauce on top. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours (I think it turns out better on high heat). I recommend flipping the chicken halfway through, but if you can’t, don’t sweat it.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker to shred. While the chicken is removed, whisk together the tapioca flour and water until fully combined and add to the sauce in the slow cooker. Whisk until fully combined. Add the chicken back in and cook on high for an additional 20 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
Garnish with green onion & sesame seeds.
I like to serve this chicken with steamed white rice and roasted broccoli, but feel free to choose whatever you prefer!

So delish! I used an instant pot for this recipe. I Cooked on slow cook setting (More) for three hours, then removed, shredded and tossed it back in on simmer for 5 minutes until ot soaked up the juice.
I made this last night – soooo yummy and tatsy! I used frozen garlic and ginger as a lazy cop out and it was still delish. Will rotate into our weekly meals for sure. Thanks Carissa!
Can you use something Other than Tapioca flour to thicken? Cornstarch?
Can you use breasts instead of thigs?
Yes, cornstarch! You can use chicken breasts as well, I just prefer thighs.
