Crock Pot Honey-Garlic Chicken – Easy crock pot recipe for chicken thighs cooked in an incredibly delicious honey-garlic sauce.
The dish otherwise known as, that one time, at that reallllyyy nice Asian restaurant when I picked up my plate and slurped up all the sauce. No shame.
Before I continue with that story, let me just wish you a very Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend!
Enjoy the sun and that grill all while you can because, guess what happens after this weekend? All the pumpkin-things will come out, your crafty neighbor’s door is about to get a brown/orange wreath, and you can’t wear white again until Memorial Day weekend. Which, by the way, I’m totally breaking that rule. White looks good on me, damn it!
One more thing tells me Fall is approaching… like how I’m slowly gravitating towards my slow cooker/crock pot, again. I used it twice this past week and pretty much will use it thrice a week from hereon.
So about my story. This one time at dinner, I had a HOT date at one of Chicago’s best Asian restaurants, and because I knew the owner, I felt like, hey anything goes! The staff was super nice to me because I had that connection with their big boss, and I ended up taking advantage of it all. I was a hot shot, if you will, until I completely made a fool of myself because I could not stop slurping up the honey garlic sauce. I didn’t totally pick up the plate, just a little bit, but enough to slurp up everything that was left on that plate.
That reminds me, chopsticks are cool, but I should’ve been given a spoon.

But the hottie! He was sitting in front of me, going along with it all, laughing with me, not AT me, and I thought we were cool, buuuuut he is still calling me back…
Or maybe I was supposed to call him? Or maybe he never got my text. Nor my voice mail. Whatever. I’ll go stalk him on Facebook. KIDDING!
As a result, and after I had that come-to-Jesus meeting with honey garlic sauce, I developed this hangry hunger for Honey Garlic Chicken because it is freaking delicious!
We’re only dealing with 5 ingredients here plus a seasoning or two. Super easy, I’m telling you.
Take out the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and chicken thighs – things are about to get amazing!
ENJOY!
