- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs or breasts and place them in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks, allowing it to absorb the sauce.
- Stir everything together in the slow cooker to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
