Step 1

In a large bowl, combine onion, soy sauce, honey, ketchup, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper.

Step 2

Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken thighs into a 6-qt slow cooker. Add soy sauce mixture and gently toss to combine. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Step 3

Remove chicken thighs from the slow cooker and shred the chicken before returning to the pot with the juices. Cover and keep warm for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 4

Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Chef’s notes

Chicken breasts can also be used, but chicken thighs yield juicier, more flavorful chicken due to higher fat content.

Best served over rice to soak up all the flavors.
