 This Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Noodles recipe is an easy and flavorful weeknight meal! Tender chicken thighs are coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce and cooked to perfection in the slow cooker. Tossed with noodles and scallions, it’s a satisfying and comforting dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 6 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons tap water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 16 ounces fresh lo mein noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 3 large scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
  • White sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a 6-quart slow cooker, stir together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha, Shaoxing wine, ginger, sesame oil, and salt.
  2. Add Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a single layer in the honey mixture.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 5 hours, or until chicken is tender.
  4. Shred Chicken: Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred with a fork.
  5. Thicken Sauce: Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small bowl. With the slow cooker on HIGH, stir in the cornstarch mixture until the sauce thickens slightly. Turn off the slow cooker.
  6. Combine and Serve: Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker along with cooked noodles and scallions. Toss to coat. Divide into bowls and garnish with extra scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • If you don’t have fresh lo mein noodles, you can substitute dried spaghetti or fettuccine.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the level of heat.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
