Asian Crockpot Orange Chicken

A warm, tangy, and comforting dish featuring sticky, citrus-glazed chicken cooked in a slow cooker with minimal prep time.

  • Total Time: 255 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Place chicken thighs in the crockpot and pour the orange sauce over them.
  3. Cook on low for 360-480 minutes or high for 180-240 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it.
  5. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then stir into the sauce in the crockpot to thicken.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and allow it to heat through.
  7. Serve over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For brighter orange flavor, add a teaspoon of orange zest to the sauce before cooking. If sauce is too thin after cooking, thicken with cornstarch slurry and simmer on high for 5–10 minutes.
