🍗 Slow Cooker Honey Garlic BBQ Chicken
Ingredients
2 lb (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup BBQ sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water, optional
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 green onions, sliced
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Add the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker in a single layer.
Make the sauce
In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
Pour over the chicken
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated.
Slow cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Shred the chicken
Remove the chicken briefly and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.
Thicken the sauce — optional
If you want a thicker, glossy sauce, mix the cornstarch with water and stir it into the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for about 10–15 minutes.
Finish
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
🍽️ Serving
Serve the shredded chicken over steamed white rice, noodles, or alongside roasted vegetables. Spoon extra sauce over the top for more flavor.
