Table for Two strikes again with a great recipe! This Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken caught our eye because the blogger said it tastes a lot like the bourbon chicken that they're often giving samples of at a mall's food court. We've all grabbed at least 2 or 3 toothpicks worth of that yumminess at some point in life, right? So of course, we had to see for ourselves... and it's true! If you're in the mood for the fun of "bourbon chicken" with the satisfaction of actually knowing what's in it, then this is the recipe for you!
It's so easy it's almost laughable. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce (the main components being honey, soy sauce, and ketchup)...
pour over your chicken thighs in the crockpot...
and cook on low for 3-4 hours. (It smells delightful as it's cooking!) Once the meat is fully cooked, take it out to cut into chunks and then put it back in to marinate in the sauce for a little while longer.
The blogger suggested adding a thickening agent like cornstarch for the sauce, but we skipped that step and it was fine.
Served over whole wheat couscous with a side of steamed broccoli, this chicken was a flavor powerhouse. DJ exclaimed, "Who needs take-out when we have this?!" Adios, mall food court; the slow cooker wins again!
