Tasty Slow Cooker Chicken

 

As I got such a good response from my slow cooker chilli recipe I thought another slower cooker recipe was a good idea.  This is one of our family favourites, its extremely quick and easy to prepare and tasty too!  Around 5  minutes prep and  6 hours in the slow cooker, this recipe is so easy yet so delicious.  I usually serve with rice and chips but it could also be served with garlic potatoes or chunky wedges.

Ingredients

•  Chicken thighs  (chicken breast could also be used)
• 3 garlic cloves crushed
• 6 tablespoons of ketchup
• 6 tablespoons of light soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons of honey
• 2 tablespoons of sriracha

• 

  sriracha sauce

  salt and pepper

Method

1. Crush the garlic
2. Heat a pan to medium-high heat, season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in the pan and sear until golden around 3 minutes each side.  Transfer to the slow cooker.
   
3. 
   In a bowl whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, garlic and sriracha.
4. Pour over the chicken in the slow cooker and toss until coated.
5. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 5 hours.
6. Remove the lid, turn the slow cooker  to high for a further 1 hour to thicken the sauce.
7. Serve
