Honey Garlic Chicken

This slow cooker Honey Garlic Chicken recipe  is delicious. It’s easy and packed full of garlicky sweetness, there’s a lot of garlic :-). It’s the perfect midweek meal, or family dinner when you’re busy 

You simply pop it all in your slow-cooker (crockpot) switch it on – and off you go – I guess it’s what you call a dump recipe 

And 4-6 hours later – boom a delicious hot and healthy dinner is waiting

 

Why Slow Cooker / Crockpot Meals? 

Well they are the best thing for busy people, really they are. And energy saving. It’s so much cheaper to run a slow cooker than to put the oven on. I read somewhere that it’s a quarter of the electricity price – so why not? 

You simply do a little prep, pop it all in the slow cooker, leave for anywhere between 4-8 hours (depending on the recipe) and leave it all alone!! 

Then you have a wonderful warm dinner prepared – voila 

 

How do you make Honey Garlic Chicken? 

Step by step 

Step 1 – chicken thighs or Chicken breasts for your honey garlic chicken? 

See the full recipe card at the bottom of this post 

Pop your chicken thighs in your slow cooker – remove all visible fat 

I like thighs, however chicken breasts work just as well 

 

Step 2 – your Honey Garlic Chicken sauce 

In a small bowl mix all your wet ingredients together and add your chopped garlic 

Step 3

Poor over your chicken thighs and cook of high for 3-4 hours 

 

Step 4 – thicken your Honey Garlic Chicken 

Once cooked add your cornflour and water  mix / sauce mix,  back into the slow cooker to thicken. You may feel it’s thick enough already so skip this if this is the case 

Add your chopped spring onions at this point too – reserving a few to serve / garnish 

Step 5 – thicken your Honey Chicken 

Once the cornflour mix is added you will see it thicken in the heat of the sauce and serve accordingly 

You can shred using 2 forks or simply leave if you like your chicken a little more chunky 

 

Step 6 – serve your Honey Garlic Chicken

Ta-dah! Serve 

 

Other ideas for your Honey Garlic Chicken 

Try adding a spoonful of sweet chilli sauce or a few dried chilli’s – the amount is up to you, depending on how much chilli kick you want. 

You can also sprinkle with sesame seeds as this gives a mote Asian theme 

 

What to serve with your Honey Garlic Chicken 

I serve mine with a mix of basmati and wild rice 

It also works well with vegetables and potatoes 

or if you fancy it with a bread roll!

Can I refrigerate my Leftover Honey Garlic Chicken? 

Yes you can. It will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

Pop it in an airtight container once cool and make sure you fully reheat  before serving. Heat in a saucepan for approx 10 minutes until piping hot all the way through, it must be piping hot 

 

Can I freeze my leftover Honey Garlic Chicken? 

Yes you can – it freezes perfectly – and that what makes a perfect recipe to batch cook 

Simply pop your left over cooled honey garlic chicken into an airtight container, freeze  and use within a couple of months

To reheat – defrost overnight in the fridge, then heat in a saucepan for approx 10 minutes until piping hot all the way through, it must be piping hot
