The 5 Ingredients You Need
(6-quart slow cooker)
- 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1½-inch pieces
- ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for GF)
- ½ cup (120ml) sriracha sauce
- ⅓ cup (80ml) honey
- ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use chicken thighs—they stay juicier during long cooks.
- Toss chicken in flour—creates a light coating that thickens the sauce naturally.
- Adjust heat: Use less sriracha (¼ cup) for mild, or add 1 tbsp lime juice for brightness.
