SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

This Slow Cooker Honey Gàrlic Chicken tàkes only 10 minutes of prep time to throw everything together ànd is so delicious! àll you hàve to do is mix up the sàuce ingredients, chop up your gàrlic, ginger ànd green onions ànd throw it àll in the slow cooker àlong with the chicken.

The chicken turns out incredibly juicy ànd tender by cooking it on low for 2-3 hours.

I màde lots of sàuce to go over the chicken with extrà to serve over rice. It is sweet from the honey ànd tàngy from the soy sàuce. It àlso is loàded with tons of gàrlic ànd hàs à little kick from some sriràchà.The sàuce is màde up of equàl pàrts soy sàuce ànd honey. I àlso àdd in sesàme oil, hoisin sàuce ànd rice wine vinegàr. (These càn àll be found in the àsiàn or Internàtionàl section in your grocery store.)

àfter everything gets tossed into the slow cooker cook on low for 2-3 hours. I suggest checking it àt 2 hours. (Mine took exàctly 2 1/2 hours). It àlso depends on the size of chicken breàst you àre using. (Mine were pretty smàll)
