Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
• 0.25 cup hot honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 2 green onions

Cooking instructions

1. Place the chicken thighs in a slow cooker. Whisk together the hot honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, chicken broth, salt, and pepper, then pour the mixture over the chicken. (about 5 min)
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the thickest piece reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. (about 300 min) — LOW
3. Transfer the chicken to a plate and shred with two forks. Return it to the slow cooker and toss with the sauce. Cover for 5 minutes so the chicken can absorb the sauce. (about 5 min)
