Notes

It’s safest to avoid using frozen chicken in the slow cooker—use thawed chicken for best results.
To thicken the sauce, make a cornstarch slurry (2 parts cold water to 1 part cornstarch) and whisk it in. If you prefer a thinner sauce, no need to thicken—it’s perfect over rice or veggies.
Coconut aminos can be used in place of soy sauce.
Red pepper flakes can be omitted.
Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
