The summer heat is here, I always use my slow cooker more during the summer than I do in the winter. This slow cooker honey garlic chicken is one of our favorites.
Why do I use my slow cooker more in the summer? To keep the the cooking heat out of the house. In the winter I want all the heat I can get in the house with Saskatchewan winters. Another of our favorite summer slow cooker recipes is Chicken Fajitas.
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
This is simple. And tasty. My kids loved it.
Layer your chicken in your slow cooker. You can use frozen or thawed, or fresh. I use partially thawed, because I worry about temperature difference and breaking my slow cooker… again.
Season your chicken with garlic, thyme, and oregano, and the optional cayenne pepper.
Mix together the ketchup, honey, and soy and pour over your seasoned chicken.
Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Serve with veggies, over rice, over pasta. However you’d like.
