Instructions
1
Place the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker.
2
Add soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, white vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and black pepper to a measuring cup or small bowl and whisk to combine.
3
Pour the sauce over the chicken.
4
Cover and cook on the high setting for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees F when fully cooked.
5
Use a large slotted spoon to scoop out all of the pieces of chicken and place them in a serving dish. Use two forks to shred the meat and set aside.
6
Pour the remaining sauce from the slow cooker into a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
7
In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and warm water. Pour the mixture into the saucepan.
8
Allow the sauce to come to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and pour the sauce over the shredded chicken. Toss to coat the chicken completely. Serve warm garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sear Chicken First for Depth 🔥Quickly sear the chicken thighs in a hot pan before adding to the crock pot to develop a golden crust and add rich caramelized flavors that elevate the entire dish.
- Make Teriyaki Sauce Concentrate 🍯Mix your sauce ingredients separately before adding to the crock pot, and reserve half to stir in during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a glossy, concentrated flavor that coats beautifully.
- Use Cornstarch Slurry at the End ✨Mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry and stir it in during the final minutes on high heat to thicken the sauce into a luxurious glaze without overcooking the meat.
- Toast Sesame Seeds Separately 🌰Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan just before serving to unlock their nutty aroma and prevent them from becoming soggy in the crock pot's moisture.
- Balance Sweet and Savory Perfectly ⚖️Taste and adjust the sauce by adding more soy sauce for saltiness, vinegar for tang, or honey for sweetness—this ensures a perfectly balanced teriyaki that isn't one-dimensional.
