Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 ½ lb)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame seed oil
  • 4 tbsp water, divided
  • 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the sauce by combining the soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, sriracha, sesame seed oil, minced garlic, rice wine vinegar, and 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the pot of your slow cooker and pour the sauce over them.
  • Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  • Once cooked, grab two forks and shred the chicken thighs.
  • Make a slurry by combining the remaining 2 tbsp of water with the cornstarch. Add this to the slow cooker and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Serve over freshly cooked rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes with sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.
