📝 Preparation Steps
1
Lightly spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chicken to the bottom of your slow cooker.
2
Whisk together all of the Sauce ingredients and pour over chicken.
3
Cook on LOW for ⏱️ 4-5 hours for thighs (⏱️ 5-7 hours for breasts) or on HIGH for ⏱️ 2-3 hours for thighs (⏱️ 3-4 hours for breasts), or until chicken is tender enough to shred. If you are available, flip the chicken over once halfway through, if not, don’t stress it.
4
When chicken is tender, remove to a cutting board and shred.
5
Meanwhile, add sauce from the crockpot to a large nonstick skillet (NOT a small saucepan). Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally. Add sauce back to slow cooker along with shredded chicken. Stir to combine. Cook an additional ⏱️ 30 minutes on LOW to absorb sauce.
6
Taste and season with salt to taste. Add additional Asian Sweet Chili Sauce for more sweet heat, chili sauce for spicier, or sugar for sweeter if desired. Serve with rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
