Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crock pot. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ketchup (if using), oil, and dried herbs. Pour the mixture over the chicken, making sure the chicken is well coated.

3. Cook: Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

4. Optional Step: If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the crock pot and transfer the sauce to a saucepan. Simmer on medium heat until it reduces and thickens slightly. You can also add a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) to thicken the sauce.

5. Serve: Serve the honey garlic chicken over rice, quinoa, or with steamed vegetables. Spoon the extra sauce over the top for added flavor.

Tips:

• You can garnish the dish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor.

• For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce before cooking.
