Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs. If you prefer smaller pieces, cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Place the chicken in a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and cornstarch until fully combined.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Cook the mixture on low for 4 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Once cooking is complete, shred the chicken slightly and serve over rice or noodles with optional toppings.
