Seriously…how ridiculously easy is it to mix up the sauce, pour it over some chicken in a crock pot, set the timer and walk away? Since I’m always on the lookout for an easy, tasty dish, I decided to give the recipe a try… and guess what? THIS HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN IS CRAZY EASY AND DELICIOUS… and it took all of 10 minutes to prep.
I prepared the sauce (boy is it good!), poured it over the chicken around lunch time and turned on the crock pot. By 6:00 pm, my husband and I had a fantastic dinner waiting for us. The smell of the chicken as it cooked was amazing. We really couldn’t wait for this meal to be done, so we could try it.
This chicken recipe is PERFECT for anyone who has a busy day and doesn’t want to take a lot of time preparing dinner. Throw the recipe together in 10 minutes or less, throw it in a crock pot, turn it on, then walk away, and do whatever you want until it is done! Bam! Fantastic, delicious dinner… just like that! Here’s what you do:
Make The Honey Garlic Sauce
Mix up the sauce in a medium sized bowl. The ingredients you will need are garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oregano, and parsley. You won’t believe just how quickly the sauce can be made.
Time To Make Honey Garlic Chicken (for crockpot)
Place 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of a slow cooker. Try NOT to break a sweat doing this, (ha ha)! See how easy this recipe is coming together?
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, turning to make sure all the pieces are covered with the sauce.
Cook the chicken for 6-7 hours on HIGH temperature OR on LOW for 4-5 hours. I typically cook mine on high, but it is really convenient to set the temperature on low and head out for the day. Here’s what the honey garlic chicken (for crockpot) looked like when I took a peek at the 3 hour mark. They sure looked and smelled pretty good by then!
Time To Serve The Chicken!
When the chicken has finished cooking, transfer the pieces to a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, and then sprinkle the chicken with toasted sesame seeds and parsley, and serve.

I made this for supper tonight. It turned out great! however, I did change/omit a few ingredients. In addition to Ketchup, soy sauce, honey and garlic, I added some onion powder and ginger powder, black pepper. I also added in some Fillipino style BBQ sauce (used Mita’s Kitchen Brand). I left out the sesame seeds and didn’t use any type of italian spice (such as oregano, basil, parsley). I did put the chopped green onions on top when serving. I didn’t have to thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry. However, I doubled the recipe as I had a package of 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I have a big 8 qt crockpot (must be 25 years old that still works great). It only took 3-l/2 hrs on low and they were done perfect. So moist and tender. This is the first time I’ve ever cooked chicken thighs in a crockpot. I served over plain white rice with a side of frozen asian style vegetables which I doctored up a bit with some asian seasoning. This recipe is a keeper, am going to start making more chicken recipes in the crockkpot from now on.
