Just throw some chicken into the slow cooker, but it’s the rich, flavorful toppings that truly turn this dish into a beloved family classic.

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • 1 tbsp dried oregano

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken skin-side down until golden and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.

  3. In a bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, oregano, and chicken broth.

  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.

  5. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for about 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  6. (Optional) About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations:

  • For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.

  • Give it an Asian flair by adding a splash of sesame oil and sprinkling toasted sesame seeds on top.

  • Brighten the flavor with a tablespoon of fresh orange zest stirred into the sauce for a citrusy twist.
