Ingredients

  • 2 to 2.5 pounds (910g-1140g) boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten free)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) malt vinegar (or distilled vinegar for gluten free)
  • 4 garlic cloves , mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper , or to taste

To thicken the sauce (optional)

  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) water

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Instructions 

  • In a 4 quart slow cooker, combine honey, soy sauce, mustard, malt vinegar, garlic and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients together well.
  • Add the chicken and press chicken down to cover it in as much sauce as possible.
  • Cook the chicken 4-5 hours on High or 6 hours on Low until the chicken is moist and tender.
  • Stir the chicken about 2 times, if possible, during the cooking and push the chicken down so it's immersed in the sauce.
  • Optional: to thicken the sauce (do this about 1 hour before chicken is finished cooking). Make the corn starch slurry: mix cornstarch and cold water in small bowl. Stir the mixture so that all the cornstarch is completely dissolved, leaving no lumps.
  • Quickly stir in the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot teriyaki mixture and combine well so that the cornstarch doesn't thicken and become lumpy. Finish cooking for the final hour.
  • Serve the hot and delicious chicken over rice, pasta or in a sandwich!

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
