@fortheloveofyum: 🍗🍯 CROCKPOT BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN 🍯🍗 SAVE THIS RECIPE because dinner does NOT get much easier than this! 😍 Tender, juicy chicken slow-cooked in a sticky, sweet-and-savory brown sugar garlic sauce that practically makes itself. The sauce over fluffy rice? Absolutely dangerous. 🤤 ⏱ Prep: 10 min 🔥 Cook: 4–6 hrs 🍽 Servings: 4–6 ⭐ Difficulty: EASY 🥘 Method: Slow Cooker 🛒 INGREDIENTS • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs • Salt & black pepper, to taste • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce • 1/4 cup chicken broth • 2 tbsp honey • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar • 1 tsp sesame oil • 1/2 tsp ground ginger • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional For thickening: • 2 tbsp cornstarch • 2 tbsp cold water For serving: • Cooked white rice • Sliced green onions • Sesame seeds 👩‍🍳 LET’S MAKE IT! 1️⃣ SEASON IT Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in your slow cooker. 2️⃣ MAKE THAT SAUCE Whisk together brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and red pepper flakes. 3️⃣ POUR & GO Pour the sauce over the chicken and turn each piece to coat. 4️⃣ SLOW COOK Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches 165°F. 5️⃣ THICKEN THAT GOODNESS Transfer chicken to a plate. Whisk cornstarch and cold water together. Stir the slurry into the sauce. Cover and cook on HIGH for 10–15 minutes until glossy and thickened. 6️⃣ GET IT STICKY Return chicken to the crockpot and spoon that gorgeous brown sugar garlic sauce all over it. Let it sit for a few minutes so every bite gets coated. 🤤 7️⃣ SERVE Pile chicken over hot fluffy rice, spoon extra sauce over EVERYTHING and finish with green onions and sesame seeds. 💗 YUM TIPS ✨ Chicken thighs stay extra juicy in the slow cooker. ✨ Don’t use hot water for your cornstarch slurry—it can clump. ✨ Want even more flavor? Quickly sear the chicken before adding it to the crockpot. ✨ For a thicker glaze, remove the lid during the final few minutes. 🔄 SWITCH IT UP 🌶 Add extra red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat. 🍍 Add pineapple chunks near the end for a sweet twist. 🥦 Toss in steamed broccoli before serving. 🍗 Prefer chicken breasts? Use them, but check early to avoid overcooking. 🍽 SERVE IT WITH Fluffy white rice, jasmine rice, mashed potatoes or noodles. Add broccoli, green beans or roasted veggies for an easy complete meal. 🧊 STORAGE & REHEATING Store leftovers with the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of broth. ❄️ FREEZING Freeze cooled chicken and sauce together for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. ⏰ MAKE AHEAD Whisk the sauce together the night before and refrigerate. In the morning, add everything to your crockpot and let dinner cook while you get on with your day! 🙌 Okay, I NEED to know… are you pouring that extra sticky sauce over RICE 🍚 or MASHED POTATOES 🥔? 👇 💗 LIKE • SAVE • SHARE • FOLLOW For the Love of Yum #ForTheLoveOfYum #CrockpotChicken #SlowCookerRecipes #EasyDinner #BrownSugarChicken
