Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Medium Pot
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker and season them with salt and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth.
  • Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken thighs, turning the pieces so they are evenly coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender.
  • About 20 minutes before the chicken is done, combine the rice and water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is fluffy.
  • Serve the chicken thighs and sauce over the steamed rice and top with sliced green onions.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken at the end of cooking and simmer the liquid on the stovetop for a few minutes. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, add only half the minced garlic at the start and stir in the rest during the final hour. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
