This had to be shared. It’s just that good. It’s like pulled pork and ribs all rolled into one… only it’s chicken. And it only take a few minutes to throw together. You’re welcome.
Honey Garlic Crock Pot Chicken Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- salt and pepper
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (I used Bragg’s to make it gluten free)
- 2 diced onions, chopped into large chunks
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch mixed into 4 tbsp of water
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper, and place in crock pot.
- Combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, and garlic. Pour mixture over chicken. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- Remove chicken from crock pot, but reserve sauce in the pot. Dissolve tapioca flour or cornstarch in 4 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Cook sauce on high for until it thickens slightly.
- Add the chicken back into sauce and mix to coat.
- Serve chicken over quinoa or cooked rice and spoon on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

I made this tonight and it was a hit! I used 4 chicken breasts in the slow cooker, same amount of sauce and topped it off with a salad. GREAT recipe! We really enjoyed it. Thank you 🙂

Do you cut the chicken up before putting into the crock pot??
I didn’t Jodi, and I found it just fell apart once it was finished cooking anyway. Win win! 🙂
This looks amazing Rosa! My hubs loves pulled pork and ribs, so this chicken option would be a sure hit! On Saturdays we like to try out new recipes so I’ll be sending him this link! 😉
Mine turned out much paler. It did not turn the dark brown sticky color. Anyone else?
Mine was also much paler. I followed the directions exactly. Not sure where I went wrong. Thoughts?
Hi Kim! Sorry, I’m not sure why yours would be paler. Hopefully it still tasted good!

Have you tried this with chicken breasts?
Hi Christina! Yes, tried it with chicken breasts… it was still good, but not as moist. 🙂
I made this and it was delicious. Next time I’m going to add a can of pineapple though. It’s a keeper!
I love that idea Sharon! I think I’ll try adding pineapple too, thanks! 🙂
How long did it take the sauce to thicken once you added the cornstarch and turned the crockpot on high?
Hi Lindsay! Probably about ten minutes if I remember correctly… 🙂
I made this tonight and it tasted amazing! However, mine didn’t look like your picture. It came out much lighter and I had a lot of onion pieces – Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?
