Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs: Sweet, Sticky, and Effortless

Tender, fall-apart chicken coated in a sticky-sweet honey garlic glaze—these slow cooker honey garlic butter chicken thighs are a simple, flavor-packed favorite.

  • Total Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs

4 garlic cloves, minced

½ cup honey

½ cup ketchup

½ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (plus more for garnish)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Spray your slow cooker insert with non-stick spray.

2. Place chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom.

3. In a bowl, whisk honey, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, and green onions.

4. Pour sauce over the chicken, covering completely.

5. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours until tender.

6. Serve over rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds and garnish with extra green onions.

Notes

You can swap honey with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.

Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce saltiness.

Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.

Reheat gently with a splash of water to loosen sauce.
