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)
- Sauce Thickness Hack 🥄Mix cornstarch with cold water before adding to the sauce to prevent lumps and achieve a perfectly smooth, glossy teriyaki glaze.
- Chicken Texture Trick 🍗Pat chicken thighs completely dry before cooking to ensure better sauce adherence and achieve a more caramelized exterior.
- Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️Toast whole sesame seeds in a dry pan before adding to the dish to unlock their deeper, nuttier flavor profile.
- Marinade Magic ⏰For maximum flavor penetration, marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce for 2-4 hours before slow cooking, if time permits.
- Aromatics Optimization 🧄Grate fresh ginger and mince garlic instead of using powder for a more vibrant, authentic Asian flavor profile.
