Recipe by Ashley LaVine and picture by Mike Hutson :)

Crockpot honey chicken

(we doubled the original recipe, and even then we still wanted more! This is the doubled recipe)

2.5 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thighs would be fine too)

Salt and pepper

1 cup honey

1/2 cup soy sauce

4 tablespoons diced onion

4 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoon canola oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 6 Tablespoons water

Season both sides of chicken with lightly with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic. Pour over chicken.Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce. Dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce.Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened.Cut chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving.

EDIT: Mike Hutson brought up this recipe again, which was originally posted in our group in August 2012 by Ashley. He recommends serving it over rice as he thinks it might be even better :)
