Instructions

Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place them in your slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir gently to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
For a thicker sauce, remove some liquid before cooking ends, mix with cornstarch, then return to the slow cooker.
Serve over steamed rice or quinoa, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
