A delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining tender chicken thighs with a zesty orange sauce, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pour the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger into your crockpot.
  2. Add the chicken thighs, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in the sauce.
  3. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  6. Pour the juices from the crockpot into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens.

  9. Serve over rice, garnishing with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or sriracha. You can also add fresh orange zest for more flavor.
