  • 6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs 2 to 2 1/2 pounds
  • 1/3 cup honey

  2. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oregano, red pepper flakes, chopped garlic and grated ginger.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker and cover. Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
