Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons catsup
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon very finely minced fresh ginger or teaspoon dry ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken choose thighs, breast or a combo
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Cooked rice for serving
  • Slivered green onion and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  3. Place chicken and sauce into slow cooker set on low and cook 4 -5 hours.

  4. Remove chicken from the sauce to a chopping board and cut into 1-inch pieces.
