thighs

How long

• Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, cover it with aluminum foil to keep it warm.

• Thicken with cornstarch grout: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until well mixed. Pour the mixture into the sauce in a pan.

Useful tips and variations

Using chicken thighs with bone:

• This recipe can also be made using chicken thighs with bone If that’s what you have and you don’t want to remove the bones. You’ll still want to wear 8 thighs. Simply remove the skin before adding to the slow cooker and increase the cooking time by about 30 minutes.

Honey substitute:

• In a pinch, if you run out of honey, you can try brown sugar

. Make more

• tangier sauce: For a more acidic sour flavor you can add more vinegar to taste

.

• Make spicy or mild: The amount of sriracha can be adjusted to make them mild or spicier.
• Cooking time: Keep in mind that each make/model of slow cooker cooks a little differently. Some cook lower and others cook quite hot. It should take about 3 to 4 hours over low heat, but if your slow cooker cooks very low, you may need to increase the time slightly.
• Be careful not to overcook or the thighs will simply crumble and crush. But on the other hand, cook at least 165°F at the center for food safety.

Don’t skip the thickening sauce

• : Yes, it’s an extra step we all want to skip, but simmering and thickening the sauce on the stove with cornstarch is a must. It would not thicken properly in the slow cooker.
