Crock Pot Chicken Thighs Sweet Spicy Sauce

Serve this recipe over fried rice or your favorite chow mein noodles and a side of sesame ginger bok choy!

Ingredients

Chicken:

Chicken thighs in this recipe give maximum flavor while still keeping moist and tender. Boneless thighs make for easy serving.
You can replace the thighs with breasts but be sure not to overcook them. I find chicken breasts don’t hold moisture as well so I often add a bit of chicken broth and shred them back into the sauce.

Sauce:

Freshly grated ginger, and garlic add tons of flavor to this sauce while a scoop of brown sugar adds sweetness.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs

Brown boneless skinless thighs and place in the bottom of a slow cooker/crockpot.
Whisk the sauce ingredients together and pour over the chicken (see recipe below).
Cook and enjoy!

How long to cook chicken thighs in the Crock Pot: These chicken thighs can be cooked on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. High temperature is preferred with this recipe.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Chicken Thighs

This slow cooker chicken recipe is perfect served over fluffy rice (or brown rice). Spoon the chicken over rice, ladle some extra sauce over the top and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.

As the sauce is slightly sweet I like to keep the sides fresh and simple like steamed broccoli, bok choy, snap peas or even steamed asparagus.
