Main ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Honey brings sweetness that balances the salty soy
  • ¼ cup Lower-sodium soy sauce keeps flavors strong but not crazy salty
  • 6 Garlic cloves medium, minced for that punch of garlic goodness
  • 2 tablespoons Dark soy sauce for deeper color and richness
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce adds that seafood umami vibe
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce if you like a little kick
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry to add a bit of warmth
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger grated, gotta love that zing
  • 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs the star of the show
  • Fresh lo mein noodles cooked according to package directions
  • Sliced scallions for garnish
  • White sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil optional

Instructions

  • Grab a medium bowl and whisk together honey, lower-sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha, Shaoxing wine, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and salt until it’s all blended nice and smooth.
  • Pop the chicken thighs into the slow cooker, then pour that sauce right over top making sure every piece gets some love.
  • Cover it up and set on low for 4 to 5 hours, let it simmer slow and steady till chicken is tender through and through.
  • Once that chicken’s cooked, remove it and shred with two forks. Don’t rush this part, shredding well makes a big difference.
  • Put the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir to coat with all that savory sauce.
  • While the chicken’s lovin’ the sauce, cook your fresh lo mein noodles following the package directions, then drain.
  • Add the noodles to the slow cooker and toss gently so every noodle gets covered nicely in the honey garlic sauce.
  • Serve it up hot with some sliced scallions and a sprinkle of white sesame seeds for that nice fresh crunch.

Notes

Cool leftovers before storing. Reheat gently to maintain texture. To loosen up thick sauce, splash in water or broth before serving again.
