SLOW COOKER CHICKEN
Cooked ina thick and easy to make Asian glaze, you’ll be tempted to pour a big jug of sauce all over your chicken. (May or may not have done that myself.) I’ve been waiting non-patiently for over 2 years to share this recipe with you! And for those that know me, I have absolutely no patience. So this is an exciting day…
Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Chicken is a no-fail recipe using chicken breast fillets that will have the family (especially kids) crawling to the slow cooker to peer through the glass, wanting and waiting for the slow cooker to finish. The aroma is dizzying. And the taste?The taste is out of this world. Sweet, sticky and mouth-watering: the perfect sweet and salty combination.
You only need a handful of main ingredients in the sauce!
- Soy sauce (please use low-sodium)
- Oyster sauce
- Honey
- Garlic

Ingredients
- 2 pounds (1 kg) skinless boneless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, (or extra hoisin sauce)

Stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; change heat setting to high, mix it through and cover again to allow to thicken and continue cooking until the chicken is just beginning to fall apart.

Made this last night and it was delicious! I didn’t have oyster sauce so I used hoison and it came out great. I had a 2lb packaged of bone in chicken drumsticks so I used those. Seared them with salt and pepper for some color and then place them in the crockpot with the sauce. They came out so tender and fell off the bone. Using the leftover sauce to make a beef stir fry tonight! Will definitely make these againReply

Hi Rachel, I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the recipe and made it your own with the hoisin substitution! Your adaptation with chicken drumsticks sounds delicious. It’s wonderful that the result was tender and flavorful! I hope your beef stir fry turns out just as fantastic.
