Ingredients

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Hot cooked rice
Sliced green onion and sesame seeds, for garnish

Direction

In a large mixing bowl, stir together onion, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towel; place in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Add sauce; stir to combine. Cover; cook on high 2-3 hours or low 4-5 hours. Remove chicken to a cutting board; use forks to shred. Place shredded chicken back in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together about a tablespoon of the cooking liquid with the cornstarch until smooth. Stir mixture into the sauce. Cook an additional 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve chicken over rice; garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
