Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lbs. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs* ($5.59)
  • pinch salt and pepper ($0.05)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($0.08)
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce ($0.60)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce ($0.32)
  • 1/3 cup honey ($0.64)
  • 2 Tbsp hot water ($0)
  • 1 tsp minced ginger ($0.10)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced ($0.32)
  • sesame seeds for garnish (optional) ($0.05)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro for garnish (optional) ($0.22)

Instruction

  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. Add the chicken, skin side down, and sauté until golden brown (about 5-6 minutes). Flip the chicken and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, water, ginger, and garlic. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook the chicken on high for 3-4 hours, or low on low for 5-6 hours. Flip the chicken half-way through to make sure all of the chicken infuses with the sauce.
  • To serve, spoon the chicken over a bed of rice, drizzle the sauce from the slow cooker over top, then garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro (if desired).
